Journals of Brother Roger of Taizé Volume 4

This fourth and final volume of the personal journals of Roger Schutz-Marsauche (1915-2005) begins in 1977 and ends with his death in 2005. It covers the day-to-day life of the Taize Community an ecumenical monastic community known for its music and contemplative style of worship and for its work with young adults around the world. It also describes the travels of Brother Roger at the end of each year with a team of young adults to places of poverty across the world--with boat-people on the South China Sea with slum-dwellers in Nairobi Kenya and with indigenous Americans in the south of Chile. In addition Brother Roger speaks of his encounters with significant people including several popes and the secretary general of the United Nations.
