Taiz?--the word is strangely familiar to many throughout the
contemporary church. Familiar, perhaps, because the chanted prayers
of Taiz? are well practiced in churches throughout the world.
Strangely, however, because so little is known about Taiz?--from
its historic beginnings to how the word itself is pronounced. The
worship of the Taiz? community, as it turns out, is best understood
in the context of its greater mission. On the day Jason Brian
Santos arrived in the Taiz? 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 1940s France to its emerging
mission as a pilgrimage site and spiritual focal point for millions
of young people throughout the world. InA Community Called Taiz?
you'll meet the brothers of the order and the countless visitors
and volunteers who have taken upon themselves a modest mission:
pronouncing peace and reconciliation to the church and the world.
