A pity indeed - I have a wonderful CD of the Taize hymns and chants that I can put on when realy stressed - Usualy takes about 2 minutes to sort me out:-) The Taize community was a brilliant idea by the good Frere and could be used as a model to bring religious unity elsewhere. I was about to speculate as to what kind of person would kill this man but I just read it was someone who was mentaly disturbed. Doesn't make it any better but at least it does seem to be nothing more than an unfortunate event:-(
