Taizé meditation is offered on the third Sunday of every month at St. John's. 

This style of service has its roots in the most ancient of Christian traditions, and has been given fresh breath by the Taizé community in France. Founded during WW2 as a place of refuge for people from all countries and faiths, The Church of Reconciliation in the village of Taizé in Burgundy is a place of pilgrimage for people of all backgrounds and languages, and especially for teenagers and young adults.

The Taizé chants used at St John’s will be in Latin or English. We will also explore other meditational chants such as those from the Ionian Community which are grounded in the Celtic tradition.

Meditation in The Church in the Square, Fremantle

All are welcome to share in a time of peaceful reflection as the day comes to a close. By candlelight we will meditate in silence and through simple, beautiful chants. We will also reflect in silence on readings from sacred and other literature.

Services with themes such as Light, Water, Earth, Journeying, or Love, will speak to people from all denominations, as well as to people who don’t belong to any Church but seek a deep peace.

For those curious but wary, be assured that you are welcome to come and go throughout the service, and that you will not be pressured to take part. We do not seek to give answers, but to wait together, listening to the heart and the spirit.
