Over the last thirty odd years, thousands of people have walked
through the door of ‘The Manor House’. Each comes with a
particular
life history. Each has a unique story. When these stories converge in
community it creates a very elaborate tapestry – a tapestry of
narratives. From one angle, the tapestry is a jumble of narratives,
each standing on its own. From another angle the whole tapestry
reflects a coherent picture. The story of one person takes it place in
the stories of the many. The many stories make up one story – the
story of L’Abri. Whatever the manner of how they function, they are
rich. ENCOUNTERS is an attempt to do a little of the telling.
