When prominent spiritual leaders are abusive, their victims are at the epicenter of the earthquake. But when the truth comes out, the rest of us still feel the aftershocks.

Three women who were sexually and spiritually abused at L’Arche by Jean Vanier and Thomas Philippe tell their stories.

The guru effect. Magnetism. A “living saint.” Jean Vanier’s powerful presence made people feel seen, even transformed. But what role does charismatic leadership play in abuse?

When Jean Vanier was alive, his saintly reputation stole the spotlight. Now, it’s his dark shadow that eclipses the other stories of L’Arche.

A new report reveals that Jean Vanier's abuse was more "insidious and strategic" than we'd previously imagined. In light of this news, host Jenna Barnett changes plans for this episode and talks with Sojourners' Mitchell Atencio about what we know.

Jean Vanier died in May 2019, a spiritual leader celebrated for his work with people with intellectual disabilities. But in February 2020, he died again — shaking the network of communities he founded.

When trusted faith leaders commit sexual and spiritual abuse, how do our communities move forward? Sojourners magazine presents: Lead Us Not, a new miniseries hosted by Jenna Barnett.
