The 7 pm. Sunday evening Taizé service is based on a form of worship from Taizé, an ecumenical monastic community in France that brings together youth and people of all ages, from all over all over the world, speaking many different languages and from many different religious traditions. From this diversity, Taizé has developed a community prayer that is meditative and easily accessible for all. Readings and prayers are simple and short. Following the Gospel or a short meditation, there is an extended period of silence for individual reflection. Songs are simple melodic chants repeated over and over, contributing to the meditative and accessible quality of prayer. We offer this service as a quiet end to a busy weekend or beginning to the new next week.
Peace is a word of vast definition, but it can rarely be seen as a state or concept that we just “let happen.” A reading of more than ten translations of the Beatitudes, found in the fifth chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew, reveals a consistent use of the word “peacemakers.” We are called to be makers and maintainers of peace. For our peacemaking to be intentional we must be fed and fortified, informed, supported and challenged; we must be praying and prayed-for people.
Gathering at 7:00 am every Tuesday for Eucharist with a special focus on peace and justice helps us to be peacemakers. The service is held in the Justice and Peace Chapel, and we linger afterwards for a light breakfast in the Upper Parish House, sharing concerns and opportunities during lively conversation. Come join us. Together let us wage peace. Click here for Peace & Justice Group 2005 Priorities.
