This is the story of Roger Schutz who founded the Taiz@eacute; Community in Burgundy during the Second World War. Known universally thereafter as Brother Roger, he built a community of Christians committed to ecumenism. A Protestant himself, he worked for the reconciliation of all Christians, Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox, and was welcomed by Popes and Archbishops of Canterbury. He travelled widely throughout the world, attending Vatican Councils and meeting leaders of other faiths. He remained the leader of the Community for sixty five years until murdered at the age of ninety by a mentally disturbed assailant. The book tells the story of this man of prayer and intersperses it with quotations from his many published works, prayers, commentaries on the Gospels and the chants for which the community is rightly famous. At the end of each chapter there are challenging questions for reflection. A truly inspiring book about a man truly inspired by God.
