Ecumenical Leader Murdered

Brother Roger, founder of the ecumenical Christian community, Taize, was murdered yesterday while praying. Details here. Brother Roger founded Taize in 1940 and made it his life's mission to spread peace and reconciliation among Christians, particularly young people. May he rest in eternal peace.

Update: The LA Times has a very well written article regarding the death of Brother Roger. It includes information about the start of Taize and their involvement in hiding Jews from the Nazis. Click here.
