{{At the initiative of the Taizé Community based in France, 8,000 young people, 5,000 Rwandans met from 14 to 18 November 2012 in Kigali for a big meeting on the theme “Together seek paths of hope.”}}
“The forum brings us together from different countries to show that Christ unites us in one communion. And this communion gives us hope to move forward to build the Church, to build the country. “Says Brother Alois, Prior of the Taizé Community.
In 2008, the same meeting was held in Nairobi (Kenya) to which 250 young Rwandan took part.
“And these are young people who have said: We would also like to organize this international meeting here. We already have a database with the forums that we organize every year.
We can therefore expand the forum and make such an international meeting of Taizé home in Rwanda, “said Brother Alois.
“It will be an experience of unity,” according to Brother Alois hope that “the Catholic Church has the mission to create unity so as not to disperse into multiple groups to be truly united in Christ.”
The Taizé Community is an ecumenical community in Taizé based in France. Founded in 1940 by Brother Roger, it gathers over a hundred brothers from around the world who have chosen to live together a life of prayer and celibacy in simplicity.
The unity of the Christian denominations and reception of young adults are part of the Community’s commitments since its foundation.
