L'Abri Fellowship Southborough, Massachusetts

Podcast Description

L'Abri, French for "the shelter," does not fit neatly into any categories of description. It is something like a residential study-center in the context of a small community of homes. L'Abri was born fifity years ago in Switzerland when Francis and Edith Schaeffer opened their home to those who came seeking answers to life's many questions, or at least a place where they would get a serious hearing. Since then it has grown to include eight branches in seven countries. The Massachusetts branch of L'Abri is located in the town of Southborough, approximately 45 minutes west of Boston by car. L'Abri is a place where we try to take all genuine questions seriously. Our foundation belief is that Christianity as found in the Bible is true, and that belief is based on more than a "leap of faith." We believe that questions and problems about God and life can be discussed rationally and answers sought without having to conclude "blindly" to "take it all on faith." Furthermore, we believe the life-affirming truth of Christianity speaks to all of human life and thought. This means our lives are not divided between "sacred" and "secular" activities, and that Christian faith integrates all of human life. This lecture podcast will be updated with lectures from each term of the Southborough L'Abri. At the end of each term, lectures will be taken down from the podcast and made available at soundword.com. For more information about L'Abri Fellowship, visit labri.org.
