"Brother Roger was not involved in academic discussions. But he developed an original thought, perceptible both in his writings and in the life of the community he founded and the youth meetings that it animates. Protestant, Orthodox and Catholic thinkers from different continents, through their contributions to the colloquium collected in this book, offer a glimpse of the magnitude of his legacy"--Back cover.
