Session Description
The four services are based on the two central claims found in Joel 2: a call to repentance and the promise of the Spirit. The first claim, "rend your hearts and not your garments," has been the church's traditional call to Lenten repentance. The second, "I will pour out my Spirit," has been the church's traditional reading for Pentecost. The life of faith is anchored by both this challenge and this promise, never one without the other.
Taizé is a religious community near Cluny, France, founded after World War II. The brothers have developed a unique prayer style which is ecumenical and meditative. Each year thousands of people visit this community to worship at Taizé. The usual Taizé service is based upon the historic Service of the Word with some variations. Taizé worship includes singing, silence, scripture and prayer, and many worship communities have patterned their services after Taizé.
Jazz Vespers is an eclectic mix of poetry, prayer, scripture and live jazz. Centered on a particular theme, the service loosely follows the pattern of Evening Prayer. In Jazz Vespers, the juxtaposition of visual, auditory and textual elements create a unique setting for prayer.
