SUMMARY:The Beloved Son
DESCRIPTION:A moving solo performance by Andrew Harrison\, exploring hope and longing\, family dynamics\, sexual and emotional crisis\, and the profound insights of a man who became one of the greatest spiritual writers of the 20th century. \nHenri Nouwen (1932 – 1996) was a Dutch\, Catholic priest\, psychologist\, and professor who reached the heights of academic success before abandoning everything to join the community of L’Arche\, in Toronto. He became part of a life-sharing movement\, seeking to make known the gifts of people with intellectual disabilities\, exploring their unique talents and creating a welcoming home of friendship and belonging. To some Henri Nouwen put his brilliant career into reverse\, risking the loss of reputation\, to others his life was a prophetic challenge to church and society. \nAge guide 14+\nPerformed by Andrew Harrison\nWritten by Murray Watts\nPresented in partnership with Ripon Cathedral \nTuesday 1st July \nTickets £14 \n \nIn preparation for the Festival performance of The Beloved Son\, Ripon Cathedral will be hosting two evening discussion groups to explore the life\, core themes and writings of Henri Nouwen.
