A Story of Prayer, Worship and Reconciliation
by Jason Brian Santos

Familiar, perhaps, because the chanted prayers of Taizé are well practiced in churches throughout the world. Strangely, however, because so little is knownabout Taizé--from its historic beginnings to how the word itself is pronounced.
The worship of the Taizé community, as it turns out, is best understood ...

Demons, the Will, and Virtue in Patristic Soteriology

Indeed, references to demons and the devil permeate his rhetoric. ...
