Ecology and spirituality The L’Arche Communities of Lanza del Vasto

The Communities of L’Arche, which were initially rarely associated with environmental concerns, are today an emblematic example of the close link between ecology and spirituality. It is the evolution of public opinion that has led them towards energetic changes that have benefited from eminently favourable conditions of possibility already present in the founder's philosophical thinking: the intensification of the ideal of “conversion” and the thematisation of the concept of “compromise”.
