Taizé Service at Canadian Memorial United Church

Corner of West 15th Avenue & Burrard Street in Vancouver, BC

Sundays at 7:00 pm February 21, March 21, April 18, May 16 and June 20, 2010

Singing is one of the most important forms of prayer. A few words sung over and over again to instrumental accompaniment reinforce the meditative quality of the prayer. They express a basic reality of faith that can quickly be grasped by the intellect and that gradually penetrates the heart and the whole being.

Taizé is an ecumenical community in France whose members live out the gospel through reconciliation. Their form of praying introduces people to meditative prayer with simple melodies woven in succession into a kind of tapestry of continuous prayer. The underlying aim is to enter together into the mystery of God's presence.
