Archbishop Neill remembers Brother Roger's 'profound contribution' to ecumenism
The Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Revd Dr John Neill, today recalled the profound contribution of Brother Roger, the founder of Taize, who died tragically after being stabbed.
Expressing his horror at the violent death of Brother Roger, the Archbishop said 'Brother Roger personally, and through the community which he founded, made a profound contribution to the ecumenical movement through a place of prayer and of worship to which millions have been drawn, young and old, Christian and non-Christian alike. In that holy place, lives have been touched and Christ has been found. May he rejoice today in the presence of the Christ whom he so faithfully served.'
