| Summary: | This article is concerned with the role of encounter in the development of identities of compassion in the communities of l'Arche. The relational practices of compassionate care and the welcoming of vulnerability, learned by newcomers to l'Arche communities through encounter with long-term members of the communities, especially those with developmental disabilities, can deepen identities of compassion in the non-disabled caregiver assistants. The example of l'Arche, articulated by Vanier, Reimer, and others, is viewed in a more robust and extrapolative manner via overlay of the conceptual frameworks of Situated Learning and Communities of Practice as articulated by Lave and Wenger. |
