Seeds of Trust: Reflecting on the Bible in Silence and Song
Sixty Bible Mediations written by the brothers in the Taizé Community
 Taizé is well known for its teaching which opens up the Bible in a fresh and clear way. Each biblical passage in Seeds of Trust is accompanied by questions and also by a prayer written by the founder of the Community, Brother Roger. A Taizé song, complete with music, brings a further dimension to the meditations. All these elements enable the individual or groups to embark on a journey of discovery to find forgiveness, healing and hope through the love of God.

The Life and Vision of Brother Roger of Taizé
Kathryn Spink
 In August 2005, Brother Roger, the charismatic founder and leader of the Taizé community, was attacked and killed while praying with more than 2,000 young people. His death came almost 65 years after he crossed the border from his native Switzerland into war-ravaged France and settled in the tiny village of Taizé.
At a time when Europe was torn asunder, Brother Roger had asked himself why such conflict should exist between people, and particularly between Christians. He found himself called to establish a community in which reconciliation and peace would be made concrete day by day. Today, thousands of young people from all over the world and from all denominations gather each week at Taizé to pray, study and worship.
