European youth arrive in Taize for global prayer event


By Stephen Brown
28 Dec 2007

Tens of thousands of young adults from throughout Europe and beyond are expected in Geneva between Christmas and New Year for five days of prayer and reflection organized by the Taizé community.

The programme includes moments of prayer, silence, song and testimonies from the ecumenical community of Taizé, founded in 1940 in France by Brother Roger, who remained its leader until his death in August 2005.

Taizé has developed its own style of music for meditation, using simple phrases, usually lines from the Psalms or other pieces of Scripture, repeated and sometimes also sung in canon. The repetition is intended to aid meditation and prayer.

About 40,000 young adults will converge on Geneva on 28 December for the five-day meeting, which lasts until 1 January, and at which Brother Roger's successor, Brother Alois, will offer meditations.
