Christianity can produce a very healthy kind of extremist. Lanza del Vasto, the ecologist, communitarian, and follower of Jesus, who founded the "other" L'Arche. Would have been a fascinating guy to meet!

Lanza del Vasto, servant of peace, died 40 years ago today. With the appearance of a biblical prophet, or his forerunner Noah, he set out to live by values that might preserve the world from the deluge of of violence, ugliness, and efficiency. twitter.com/RobertEllsberg…

I’m an admirer of his, and would like to have met him. But there’s a fair amount of _Pèlerinage aux sources_, that book of his about his travels in South Asia and his meeting with Gandhi, that I find troubling.
