Workshop: TAIZE PRAYER

Workshop: TAIZE PRAYER
Tony and Abby Rheault

TAIZÉ PRAYER is a combination of scripture, music, intercession and silence, joined together to create a communal contemplative prayer practice. Started in Taizé, France, this worship style has spread throughout the world and is utilized in many ways, such as seasonal devotions, group meditation and interdenominational services. We will consider each of the elements of this prayer form through discussion and example.

Tony and Abby Rheault, music ministers at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Boise, have lived in Idaho for 6 years. They both enjoyed careers in liturgy and church music for nearly 25 years. This included experience planning non-Eucharistic liturgies such as Taizé prayer. Tony is now a Software Developer and Abby is a Librarian.
