I don't know if most news sources have been picking this up, but I learned from Jon's blog that the current leader of Taizé was stabbed to death. For those who do not know, Taizé is a community in France that focuses on prayer and meditation. During my years in the St. Thomas choir, we took part in a number of prayers and songs that were based on the Taizé way, and they were great. My friends who were in choir this past year spent a couple days with the Taizé community and they also said it was amazing. It's sad that somebody would jiust come up and stab a 90-year-old man who has done so much for the worldwide church.
