Description

Taizé–the word is strangely familiar to many right through the latest church. Familiar, perhaps, because the chanted prayers of Taizé are well practiced in churches right through the world. Strangely, then again, because so little is known about Taizé–from its historic beginnings to how the word itself is pronounced. The worship of the Taizé community, as it turns out, is best understood in the context of its greater mission. On the day Jason Brian Santos arrived in the Taizé community its leader was once brutally murdered before his eyes. Instead of making Santos need to leave, the way the community handled this tragedy made him long to stay and learn more about this group of people that could respond to such evil with grace and love. In this book he takes us on a tour of probably the most world’s first ecumenical monastic orders, from its monastic origins in the war-torn south of 1940s France to its emerging mission as a pilgrimage site and spiritual point of interest for millions of young people right through the world. In A Community Known as Taizé you can meet the brothers of the order and the countless visitors and volunteers who have taken upon themselves a modest mission: pronouncing peace and reconciliation to the church and the world.
