Faith and Light is an International Christian community movement bringing together people with a learning disability, their families, carers and friends.
It recognises that everyone has gifts to offer – the ability to welcome others with love and affection and a gift of Celebration.
The communities meet regularly to pray, to share and to celebrate together. Friendships are formed and groups link to share outings and pilgrimages. Faith & Light is based on the L’Arche community founded by Jean Vanier in 1964.
