Journals of Brother Roger of Taizé, Volume 3: 1972–1976

This third volume of the personal journals of Roger Schutz-Marsauche (1915-2005) covers the years from 1972 to 1976. Brother Roger was the founder and first prior of the Taize Community in France, an ecumenical monastic community known for its music and contemplative style of worship, and for its work with young adults around the world. This volume covers the final preparations and the opening of the "Council of Youth," an attempt to take seriously the desire for renewal of church and society of the younger generations and to orient it in a positive direction. Brother Roger also speaks of the life of the community and its many visitors, his personal spiritual journey, and the trips he took to different parts of the world, notably, at the end of 1976, to a poor neighborhood of Calcutta with an intercontinental team of young people.
