Christ Church offers this truly beautiful service of contemplative prayer and music in the tradition of the Taizé community of France, which promotes peace and justice through prayer and meditation. November's Taizé Vespers reflect on Thanksgiving, which is appropriate, given the season. Emphasizing attention to silence, prayer, and singing, Taizé provides an opportunity to offer praise and thanksgiving for God's love and presence in one's life, to pray for oneself and others
