From our entry in the Portsmouth Diocesan Year Book Faith + Light founded by Jean Vanier is an International Christian Association of people with a learning disability, their families and friends . Faith and Light believes each person is called to be a source of grace and peace for the whole community, the church and humanity ..........(Faith and Light Charter) Each community meets for a time of sharing , for spiritual renewal and the enjoyment of being together . Join us + discover that our friends have much to teach us about love and acceptance
