A Service in the Style of Taize

14 August 2011

The 9th Sunday After Pentecost

Several times each year, Seekers Church takes time out from its regular preaching schedule for a service of chant, prayer and reflection modeled on the worship of the Taizé Community in France. This Sunday was one such time. Repeating the chants together until they die away into the silence provides rest for our world-weary spirits as well as an opportunity for individual reflection on our faith journeys. As we joined in spirit with the monks at Taizé, we were nourished by their faithfulness as well as by their music.

Summer 2011 – Catching Our Breath

REFLECTION

When I come and bow humbly before you,

I see how your wisdom breathes in everything.

In these sacred seeing moments

I learn and relearn truths that free me.

Joyce Rupp, Prayers to Sophia, pg 78

Ordinary Time 2011 – Learning to Live in the Body

REFLECTION

There is nothing higher, nothing more holy [than the body]. It is nonsense to contrast God with the body. Be it the individual human body, or the body of humanity itself, or, indeed, the body of all that was created…. Our hands are God’s hands in the world. Our hearts are God’s heart in the world. God pulsating. God beating. God yearning and open and growing in history.

Carter Heyward, Touching Our Strength. p 140

Pentecost 2011

REFLECTION

We are the vessels of God’s voice, her words blowing through us, bidding us to tell the tales that only we can speak.

Jan L. Richardson, In Wisdom’s Path

Easter 2011 – Becoming the Body

REFLECTION

The story begins when God puts on flesh and comes to walk among us. It ends, or perhaps it just begins again, when God’s spirit is uncaged by death, when the one who walked among us dies an individual and is born again as a community.

Rob Eller-Isaacs (from a sermon)
