Sounds like this organization: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taizé_CommunityI was chaperoning the last youth conference in my diocese and there was a workshop on taize prayer, form what I understand it is a type of sung prayer that is meditative. I didn’t get a chance to get to the workshop but was interested.
What is it? How do you do it? Does anyone have experiences? God… bad? Thumbs Up… thumbs down?
What did you do? Instruments? Just chant? Where did the prayers come from?I went to a Taizé style prayer service Sunday night. I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. The music was lovely, and was actually the best music I’ve heard at this parish.
Well, it was a Stations of the Cross, but only with pictures projected onto a screen in front of the altar. There were candles around the altar. Passages describing the stations were read, a hymn was sung, and then a candle was put out. A couple hymns were from the Taizé community, one was an African-American spiritual, a couple were in the hymnals we have on Sunday. There was a choir, and some instruments.What did you do?
