He said: "I am looking forward to working with the Archbishop of Canterbury and other bishops to lead the Church of England in its mission to the nation. lt is imperative that the Church regains her vision and confidence in mission, developing ways that will enable the Church of England to reconnect imaginatively with England. it is important that the Church of England's voice is heard locally, nationally and internationally, standing up for justice, bringing Good News to the poor, healing to the broken-hearted, setting at liberty those who are oppressed, and proclaiming the death of Christ and his resurrection until he comes again.

Br Roger, who was 90, was seated at the rear of the vast tent, surrounded by children, when he was stabbed in the neck by a worshipper. He died a few minutes later. His death comes almost 65 years after he moved to the village in central France to start an ecumenical community that continues to attract thousands of young people each week to prayer, study, and worship. In his latest letter to the worldwide community of Taize pilgrims, Br Roger wrote that people longed for a world free from violence. The Archbishop of Canterbury expressed his shock and sadness on learning of the horrific death. "Brother Roger was one of the best loved Christian leaders of our time, and hundreds of thousands will be feeling his loss very personally, and remembering him in prayer and gratitude." The Taize community will now be led by Brother Alo"ls. Photograph: Reuters ST EDWARD'S FESTIVAL.
