Words of Peace from Brother Roger of Taizé

This is a letter from Brother Roger of Taizé who was stabbed by a deranged woman at a evening service in his community in France and died this week on Tuesday, August 16, 2005:

Brother Roger of Taizé: A Future of Peace
Brother Roger and the more than 100 brothers who have joined his ecumenical Christian community since 1940 have devoted their lives to working for peace, reconciliation and Christian unity. During World War II they harbored Jewish refugees, just one of many ways they have actively expressed their love for the downtrodden. —From Bruderhof Community's Intro to A Future of Peace

Also, the BBC just published an article, How Taize Changed the Church.
