During the course of a day, take a moment to read the Bible passage with the short commentary and to reflect on the questions which follow. Afterwards, a small group of 3 to 10 people can meet to share what they have discovered and perhaps for a time of prayer. http://www.taize.fr/en_article5995.html http://www.taize.fr/en_article5995.html 2010-08-31T17:44:00Z text/html en Taizé In Jluy 2010, a brother made visits in Timor Leste. Here, he shares some of his reactions. As you arrive in East Timor, the plane comes in over the sea. The road into the city goes along the bay. Each time I have come, I have had the same reaction: “What a beautiful country”. But as you entered the city, there were always remains of the war: houses abandoned, windows without glass… This time there is a change for the better. There are new buildings, some streets have lighting, there are no (...) http://www.taize.fr/en_article11234.html http://www.taize.fr/en_article11234.html 2010-08-31T09:42:00Z text/html en Taizé You are getting ready to come to the Pilgrimage of Trust Meeting in Sarajevo and we are looking forward to your arrival! The parishes have put a lot of effort into preparing a warm welcome for everyone. They have a lot to share with you. Nevertheless, your help will be greatly appreciated. During this “pilgrimage of trust” in Sarajevo we want to spend time living together, bringing us closer to God and one another. We would like to share our joys and open new paths of hope together… Here (...) http://www.taize.fr/en_article3647.html http://www.taize.fr/en_article3647.html 2010-08-31T09:41:00Z text/html en Taizé A brother will be making visits in the United States in October.

This Saturday, August 14th, we celebrated three things in one big evening prayer: The 70th anniversary of the Taizé Community, the fifth anniversary of the death of its founder, Brother Roger, and the entry of a new young Italian brother. The celebrations began with a (...) http://www.taize.fr/en_article4141.html http://www.taize.fr/en_article4141.html 2010-08-30T14:20:00Z text/html en Taizé Prayers with songs from Taizé exist in many places in New Zealand. The prayers appearing on this page are regular prayers known directly or indirectly to the brothers and who are in touch with the reality of the local Church in their area. The "pilgrimage of trust on earth" is not a movement in the formal sense of the word at all. So no one has a list of "members". It is often possible, however, to put people in touch with others in their locality. Please feel free to contact us.

Here he shares some of his impressions. Berlin is sparkling with life, one meets people there with the most diverse origins. Some have lived there for a long time, others have just arrived. This multiplicity was also reflected in the meeting that the young people had prepared for Sunday afternoon. For some years, a regular prayer has been held on Friday evenings in the Prenzlauer Berg district. Young and less young from (...) http://www.taize.fr/en_article11235.html http://www.taize.fr/en_article11235.html 2010-08-26T09:21:09Z text/html en Taizé Over 150 young people from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo took part in two retreats organised by the Taizé Brothers at Mji wa furaha – Nairobi during the second and third weeks of August. At the heart of the meetings were three times of prayer each day. The morning program consisted of Bible reflection led by one of the brothers, personal reflection in silence, and sharing in small groups. In the afternoons, workshops and visits to places of (...) http://www.taize.fr/en_article4455.html http://www.taize.fr/en_article4455.html 2010-08-24T08:51:00Z text/html en Taizé For nearly three years now, young people have been meeting for prayer once a month in Bangkok. The prayers began during the preparation for Brother Alois' visit to Bangkok in November 2007. Each month, the prayer takes place in the church of a different denomination; Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian… but also in a small centre for children run by the Lutheran Church or a student centre of the Church of Christ in Thailand. The prayers are prepared by a small core group that brings together (...) http://www.taize.fr/en_article7190.html http://www.taize.fr/en_article7190.html 2010-08-23T15:37:00Z text/html en Taizé July 2010 The July visit by one of the Taizé brothers took place in two stages that were quite different but had the same source: prayer. Like every year since 1991, in Sydney it was the NSW Ecumenical Council that prepared the program for the visit. Among the items, there was a retreat at the Merroo Christian Centre at Kurrajong, a prayer at St Mark's Anglican Church, South Hurstfield and another at St Patrick's Church Hill in the city. During these visits, there is always a kind of small (...)
