Taize is an international and ecumenical monastic community founded in 1940 by Roger Schutz-Marsauche.  His aim was to open up ways of healing the divisions between Christians and through the reconciliation of Christians to overcome conflicts within humanity.  Acquiring a house in Taize, near Cluny, in SE France, he began by sheltering Jews and other refugees in his home.  After the end of the Second World War, he obtained permission to welcome German prisoners of war from a nearby camp.  The first brothers took life-vows in 1949.  They were all Protestant, of various backgrounds, but since 1969 they have been joined by Roman Catholics.  There are now almost 100 brothers, from some 20 countries and every continent.
 
Music in the Taize style is done in simple-to-sing repetitive chant, and is contemplative and quiet. The church is lit by numerous candles, often with incense burning.  A ritual of candle lighting is held for those who wish to light a candle and offer up silent prayer for someone, with the result being a beautiful atmosphere of candlelight, fragrance, meditation, soft chants, and a strong sense of spiritual presence and unity.  There will be no sermon or communion.  Taize worship appeals to young and old, persons of traditional faith as well as persons who consider themselves spiritual but not religious.  The service is both mystical and dramatic.  This is one event to which you will want to invite your friends and neighbors.

Holy Cross Monastery, West Park

Movement is an essence of life. Earth travels around the sun, bringing us the change of seasons; she whirls round and round, giving us the passage from night to day. Ancient comets brought water to earth, which moves from ocean to mist to snow to water. Blood courses through our bodies, so that we may breathe and live. During this weekend we will join the cosmic dance and experience prayer through movement. We will use simple gestures to Taize chants, interpret Scripture through movement, and invite our bodies to express our prayers, creating our own Psalms. No dance experience necessary. Please wear lose, comfortable clothing.

The Rev. Gwyneth MacKenzie Murphy, a retreat leader and spiritual director, has been dancing all her life and doing Sacred Dance for over twenty years. She is the Vicar of St. Andrew's in New Paltz, NY and Episcopal Campus Pastor for SUNY New Paltz.
