Brother Roger

Der Schweizer evangelisch-reformierte Theologe Frère Roger (1915–2005) gründete im französischen Taizé eine ökumenische Bruderschaft, die zu einem internationalen geistlichen Zentrum wurde. Er stand für eine monastische Lebensform des einfachen Lebens, des kontemplativen Gebets und der praktischen Versöhnung über Konfessionsgrenzen hinweg. Bibellesern vermitteln seine Schriften und Gebete ein auf Stille, inneren Frieden und elementares Gottvertrauen ausgerichtetes Verständnis des Evangeliums.
