I would just like to add, as the reviewer stated later in his comments, that the community is a "ecumenical" monastic community, not a "Protestant" monastic community (despite the fact that the back cover says it is). There was a typo on the back cover concerning this matter. I know it may not seem like a huge thing to some, but it's important to understand that a large part of the community's significance centers on the fact that they are living out their reconciliation in their life together. Blessings, JBS The author of the book here…;) Thanks for the review and your kind words.

But after reading your very intriguing entry above, I could hardly help but click on the link to the MP3’s and listen to a few of the sample. I found them very soothing (and spiritual).

This is very different for us evangelical nondenominational protestants. Along with it we are making us fixed hour prayer. Fast tunes, driving bass lines and charismatic platform leadership are looking pretty thin to us right now when it is not balanced by what Taize brings to the table.

I'm a doctrinally reformed Southern Baptist, so you might assume I would think you're crazy, but I don't. I think that's wise counsel. “I believe there are aspects of the monastic tradition to which we should be cautiously open.”
