ZAGREB, Jan 14 (Hina) - At the end of this year Zagreb will host
the European meeting of Tiaze youth, which will pool some 50,000 young Catholic
and Orthodox believers as well as representatives of reformed churches, the
head of the Croatian Bishops' Conference's Council for Ecumenism and Dialogue,
Bishop Vlado Kosic said earlier this week. Zagreb and the Zagreb
Archdiocese were selected to host the 29th meeting at a recent youth meeting in
Milan.
The ecumenical meeting in Zagreb will be held between 28 December 2006
and 1 January 2007.
Taizé, in the south of Burgundy, France, is the home of an
international, ecumenical community, founded there in 1940 by Brother Roger.
Since the late 1950s, many thousands of young adults from many countries
have found their way to Taizé to take part in weekly meetings of prayer and
reflection. In addition, Taizé brothers make visits and lead meetings, large
and small, in Africa, North and South America, Asia, and in Europe, as part of
a "pilgrimage of trust on earth".
