Böcker av Brother Roger

Roger Schutz-Marsauche, known around the world as Brother Roger, is one of the most influential figures in Christianity in the twentieth century. He was founder and first prior of the Taizé Community in France, where tens of thousands of young Christians flock each year for its distinctive music and contemplative style of worship, spending time in prayer and reflection. Yet it is the community of monastic brothers, from differing Christian traditions and over twenty-five different countries, who make this contemplative experience possible. These brothers stand as a ¿parable of community¿ and as a sign of unity in the midst of a divided world and a divided Christianity. The second volume of Brother Roger¿s Journals covers the years 1960-1972, focussing on the birth and initial preparation of a ¿Council of Youth¿, a project catalysed by the crisis in the Roman Catholic Church in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. Brother Roger also details the ongoing life of the community, the paths of his personal spiritual journey, and other encounters across those remarkable years.

A first volume of the journals of Roger Roger Schutz-Marsauche, known as Brother Roger, founder of the Taizé Community in France.

The Rule of Taize was written by Brother Roger, its founder, during the winter of 1952-3. His intention was to express for the young men who had committed themselves to the group 'for their whole life in celibacy and to a life together in great simplicity', 'the essential that makes the common life possible'.
