Brother Roger murdered

I am just back from more than a week offline, and the first news to greet me is of the violent death of Brother Roger, one of the founders of the Taize community, this past week. There will be special services in a variety of venues in the coming days. I’m sure we’ll do something at Luther, and I know already there is a Taize service scheduled for this coming Thursday at 6:30 pm at St. Luke’s church here in St. Paul. You can access video from his funeral here, at a French Catholic television site.
