VOTF At Work in
the World
International
Note:
The
Swiss Protestant theologian Brother Roger who founded the
Taize ecumenical movement in 1940 died a violent death
in his church during an evening service. The Taize community
was made up of Lutheran, Evangelical, Anglican, Eastern
Orthodox and Roman Catholic monks. Their aim was to foster
greater unity among Christian churches. Brother Roger’s
particular concern was for the world’s youth growing up
in a secular world all but devoid of spiritual nourishment.
See the New
York Times obituary.
The
January 2005 issue of In the Vineyard noted a Paulist
Center, Boston, MA invitation to participate in a Taize
prayer service. Taize is practiced throughout the Christian
world and is often part of Roman Catholic liturgies and
services. See the USCCB
message of condolences on the death of Brother Roger.
