If you’ve been reading these moodlings for a while, you’ll
know that yours truly has been involved with Taizé Prayer for quite some time,
and that I even had a chance to visit what I call my heart's spiritual home -- the little community in the Burgundy region of France known as Taizé.
I love praying in the style of Taizé because it’s one way
that Christians can come together and not worry about theological differences –
after all, everyone on the planet is a beloved child of God, and it’s kind of
ridiculous that any of us go around thinking ourselves better than anyone else,
or that our faith is truer. I also love that there is no preaching at an
evening of Taizé prayer – scripture is read (in several languages) and we’re
left in silence so that God can speak to our hearts.
If you’re in the Edmonton area and are looking for a
beautiful, musical and ecumenical way to pray, come join us, and feel free to
bring friends. Also, check out the Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/edmontontaizeprayer/.
