Today new expressions of Christian monasticism, many of which ecumenical, are developing in places such as the Bose Monastic Community in Italy, the Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem throughout Europe, and the Taizé Community in France, and the mainly Evangelical Protestant New Monasticism.

Poznań hosted the 2009 European Young Adults Meeting of the ecumenical Christian Taizé Community.

In 1944 Roger Schütz, a pastor of the Swiss Reformed Church, founded a small religious brotherhood in France which became known as the Taizé Community.

In Taizé lives the Taizé Community, a monastic, ecumenical, international community founded in 1940 by Frère Roger, which has today just over 100 brothers from many different countries and from different Christian traditions.

The Taizé Community is an ecumenical monastic order in Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France.

The Taizé Community was founded by Frère Roger in 1940.

The Taizé Community attempts to send pilgrims back from youth meetings to their local churches, to their parishes, groups or communities, to undertake, with many others, a “ Pilgrimage of Trust on Earth .” Every year around New Year ( usually from 28 December to 1 January ), a meeting in a large European city attracts several tens of thousands of young adults.

It is organized by brothers of the Taizé Community, sisters of St. Andrew, and young volunteers from all over Europe, and from the host city.
