Talk:L'Arche

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This doesn't appear to be an egalitarian community, or communities...

Correct. L'Arche is not egalitarian. Instead, it is based upon the common humanity of those involved and upon the complementary gifts that each member contributes. At least, that was my experience when I lived with the Wash, DC community. Freder1ck 02:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)Freder1ck


[edit] Confusion between L'Arche and the Arc

Both organizations, L'Arche and The Arc are large, national organizations which serve people with developmental disabilities. There is often some confusion that the two are related because of the similarity in names: L'Arche and The Arc. They are, however, not related. The Arc gets its name from the old acronym Association for Retarded Citizens or Association for Retarded Children.

Is it worth noting for a sentence or two that it is a separate agency from The Arc? --Pylon 16:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
