TEENAGERS IN A MONASTERY…YEAH RIGHT!

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? 

In 2006, Andrew Nicholson (Cornwall Methodist Youth Enabler), led a pilgrimage of teenagers from the joint Methodist/Anglican Youth Synod to the monastery of Taizé in France. They joined with several thousand other young people from across the world to share in a common life of prayer and simplicity. This book is their remarkable story; not just of how they coped, but how their lives were changed in this extraordinary environment.

                          Quotes from the young people featured in
                          the book

                                  “All the problems I’ve had in the short 15 years of my life all made
                                   sense. It seemed to piece together like a jigsaw”
 

“I felt it was possibly the first time ever that I have managed to use prayer to effectively talk to God” 

“Taizé is a completely different world – no one worries about what you look like, what you sound like, or how you act – it’s just so normal” 

“I didn’t realise that it’s so simple to live in a calm, relaxed way” 

“Something I always want to remember is the buzz of all the different cultures together, talking, singing and laughing together” 

“I thought it would be a bit of a drone, but now I have been I think it’s amazing!” 

 “This week has been the most amazing worship ever, I really feel completely changed in my faith”
