A Community Called Taizé:

A story of prayer, worship, and reconciliation

Jason Brian Santos

During evening prayers on the first day of his first visit to Taizé, a woman with a history of mental instability murdered Brother Roger, the founder of Taizé, metres away from Jason Brian Santos.

Santos explores how the community of brothers coalesced around Brother Roger in the post-war period and how they responded to the increasing numbers of young pilgrims visiting the community. The result was the development of a distinctive mix of ecumenical worship and hospitality for young adults.
