A Community Called Taize: A Story of Prayer, Worship and Reconciliation
by Jason Brian Santos
$15.00 Paperback

Even though the chanted prayers of Taizé are well practiced in churches throughout the world, little is known about Taizé –from its historic beginnings to how the word itself is pronounced. On the day Jason Brian Santos arrived in the Taizé community its leader was brutally murdered before his eyes. Instead of making Santos want to leave, the way the community handled this tragedy made him long to stay and learn more about this group of people who could respond to such evil with grace and love. In this book he takes us on a tour of one of the world's first ecumenical monastic orders, from its monastic origins in the war-torn south of 1940’s France to its emerging mission as a pilgrimage site and spiritual focal point for millions of young people throughout the world, a mission pronouncing peace and reconciliation to the church and the world.
