Prayer and Music in the Style of Taizé is a meditative prayer service of repetitive chant, sponsored by the Downtown Churches Association, held on third Fridays at 18:00: September, October and November 2009 at St. Andrew's Cathedral, Blanshard at View.

"Nothing is more conducive to a communion with the living God than a meditative common prayer with, as its high point, singing that never ends and that continues in the silence of one's heart when one is alone again."
-- Brother Roger, founder of the Taizé Community
