BROTHER ANTHONY OF TAIZE
has a website. Nice labyrinth there.
It appears that he teaches literature in Sogang University. One of the pages in his website lists his writing efforts. The titles of his articles are interesting. None of them seem to be about religious themes. They are all concentrated on literature and translation. Nothing wrong with studying literature, of course. It's just that one would expect a monk to write about God once in a while.
This page in his website is very ecumenical. Lots of Catholic links there. Scroll down and see what other religions he is linking to.
From this webpage it's hard to tell what religion he is. Isn't that sort of odd unless you belong to a globalist religion?
There is a picture of him here. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom he will explain how he chose his name. Buddhist, not Christian unless you know the translation.
He offers pictures of prayer at Taize. I think that icon is Jesus, isn't it? But who is He standing with? If it's God the Father, where is the Holy Spirit? And how can an icon of God the Father be written? Or maybe it isn't an icon? Click the "song" link to get an idea of what the chanting at Taize sounds like. This is not Gregorian Chant! It is otherworldly, though. The "bells" link is nice.
His paintings are all Christian.
