The WCC shares in grief at the death of Taizé's founder, "a witness to the gospel and to ecumenical dialogue"

"Brother Roger died as he lived, praying at the centre of his community," said the World Council of Churches acting general secretary Geneviève Jacques in a message of condolence sent to the Taizé community today. Expressing "shock" and "sadness" at the death of the community's founder brother Roger Louis Schutz-Marsauche, Jacques stated that "his witness to the gospel and to ecumenical dialogue has been enormously influential over the past century". Jacques also praised his "unceasing search for authentic ecumenical dialogue" which reached across "institutional barriers".
