Brother Roger, and his Taize community, probably did more good for the Christian faith than any other single individual or community in the 20th century, in terms of renewal, community, theology, service to the poor, work with young people, liturgy, and ecumenicity. If there is to be a Christian faith worthy of the name in the 21st century, it will spring from the kinds of work that he did and inspired others to do. His bizarre and tragic death can only be compared to that of Thomas Merton, back in 1968.
