Join us, Wednesdays in Lent, for an hour of song, silence, and contemplation in the tradition of the Taizé community. All are welcome.
The Taizé community began in France during World War II, when founder Roger Schutz (who came to be known, simply, as Brother Roger) sought to create a place of safety and refuge amidst the horrors of that war. Today, the French village of Taizé is a site of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands from all over the world, especially young people, who come to sing and pray together and live in kindness, reconciliation and simplicity.
Taizé services are built around meditative singing. Each Taizé chant uses a simple melodic line and a single phrase from scripture (or other sources), repeated over and over. Taizé is nondenominational, nondogmatic, Christ-focused, and centered on the idea that "God is love and love alone."
