They are in Hong Kong in preparation for a young adult gathering from 8-12 August, 2018, and we are blessed to have this opportunity to worship with them. Taize is an ecumenical Christian monastic community in France with a strong devotion to reconciliation and peace. They are known for their contemplative, quiet style of worship and prayer which involves simple, repetitive songs, which become a way of listening to God. Worship will be followed by a fellowship dinner with the brothers. RSVP here for the dinner.
