Brother Roger, the founder of Taize Community, murdered in knife attack.
THE 90 YEAR OLD founder of the French religious Taize Community recognised internationally
for its sacred music, Robert Louis Schutz-Marsauche, known as Brother
Roger, was murdered in August. French police said Brother Roger was
attacked with a knife during the August 16th service attended by 2,500
young people at the Church Of Reconciliation in Taize. A 36 year old Romanian woman, whom
police called "mentally disturbed," is being held by the police. The
Taize Community south
east of Paris attracts tens of thousands of Christians from around the
world for spiritual reflection and prayer.
