Marcel was close to the Oxford Group and Moral Rearmament. He wrote two important collections of stories linked to this movement.
In his preface to the book " Un changement d'espérance" ('Fresh hope for the world' in the English edition), he gave a phrase often used to explain the movement's approach: 'I would say, as I stated publicly at Caux, that what strikes me above all is that we find in it a surprising conjunction of the global and the intimate.'
