2014-25 Conclusion 39 Reageer According to the intention of the community, as well as to its position within the Catholic legal framework and systematic theology, Taizé can be a sign and a source of inspiration. The position of the Taizé practice can be located both within and outside Catholic law and theology. A position characteristic for the community as a whole, located at the crossroads of various legal and theological systems. Taizé indeed is a “parable of communion,” 1 as it describes itself. Visible communion is not yet fully realized, but the community is a sign of it. The Eucharistic practice of the community anticipates both the ontological communion inherent to the Christian Church and the visible communion yet to be established. 1 Brother Roger quoted in Brother Alois, ‘A Passion for the Unity of the Body of Christ’, 5.
