A type of prayer supposedly developed in France during WWII. From the way it has been described to me, some scripture readings are done, but much of the time is apparently spent in silent navel gazing with violins playing in the background. Elements of the silent prayer time described to me sound like centering prayer.

Personally, I'd rather spend the time at Mass and know that I receive some real spiritual sustenance.

I just heard of Taize about a week ago. The Episcopal church in town is holding a Taize service and had run an ad (invitation) about it in the local paper. It's described as originating as a ecumenical movement in France. That was pretty much enough for me to believe it isn't something I'd want to get involved with.
