THE HENRI NOUWEN SOCIETY WAS FORMED FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHARING THE SPIRITUALITY, COMMUNITY, AND COMPASSION THAT WAS EMBODIED IN THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF HENRI NOUWEN. THE SOCIETY SEEKS TO GATHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY HENRI AND TO INTRODUCE OTHERS THROUGH HIS RICH LEGACY, AND TO PROVIDE MEANS FOR THEM TO BUILD A COMMUNITY.
