Taize

Tonight is the third night of Passover, and ironically I thought it might be interesting to go to a Christian worship service. I've never been to one in my life (it was really a coincidence that tonight was Passover), and was curious.

A friend in my dorm goes to Taize every week. It's a form of meditative worship. We sang songs, had periods of silence, sang more songs, etc. It was an amazing experience.

My favorite part was a special period of silent meditation, in which you had the opportunity to pray aloud, if you were moved to do so. It was amazing to hear everyone's prayers as we sat in a circle around a ring of candles, light streaming through stained glass all around us.

I hope others who have the opportunity to try this will do so--it really was amazing!

Happy Passover and Easter! (and other holidays going on at this time of which I am not aware!)
