In a similar fashion, one of the staff of the downtown Episcopal cathedral was stabbed to death by a mentally ill homeless man that was a regular at the soup kitchen there.

It was a place of amazing peace and holiness - an indescribable sense of "stillness" permeated the place, and the meditative worship holds a special place in my heart. I give Taize full credit for bringing me out of the small, petty world of high school intrigue I lived in. It is really a tragedy that Brother Roger has passed, and I hope his successor can continue the mission of the monastery.
