°Õ²¹¾±³úé - Brother Paolo
Last updated: 22 August 2010
The distinctive music of °Õ²¹¾±³úé is sung around the world in churches of almost every Christian tradition and every year, thousands of young people make a pilgrimage to the little French village which is home to the first ecumenical community in Europe. They study and play, worship and sing, pursuing the original °Õ²¹¾±³úé goal of 'struggle and contemplation'.
In this week's "All Things Considered" (Sunday 22 August, 8.30 am and repeated Thursday 26 August at 5.30 am) we hear from Brother Paolo who hails from the Forest of Dean and who has been a member of the community for 30 years. He talks to Roy Jenkins about the origins of °Õ²¹¾±³úé, the faith journey which led him to become a monk, and the impact of the killing of the founder Brother Roger in 2005.
