Today, the Taizé Community is made up of over a hundred brothers, Catholics and from various Protestant backgrounds, coming from around thirty nations. By its very existence, the community is a “parable of community” that wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples. The brothers of the community live solely by their work. They do not accept donations. In the same way, they do not accept personal inheritances for themselves; the community gives them to the very poor. Certain brothers live in some of the disadvantaged places in the world, to be witnesses of peace there, alongside people who are suffering. These small groups of brothers, in Asia, Africa and South America, share the living conditions of the people around them. They strive to be a presence of love among the very poor, street children, prisoners, the dying, and those who are wounded by broken relationships, or who have been abandoned. Over the years, young adults have been coming to Taizé in ever greater numbers; they come from every continent to take part in weekly meetings. Sisters of Saint Andrew, an international Catholic community founded seven centuries ago, Polish Ursuline Sisters and Sisters of St Vincent de Paul take on some of the tasks involved in welcoming the young people. Church leaders also come to Taizé. The community has thus welcomed Pope John Paul II, four Archbishops of Canterbury, Orthodox metropolitans, the fourteen Lutheran bishops of Sweden, and countless pastors from all over the world. From 1962 on, brothers and young people sent by Taizé went back and forth continually to the countries of Eastern Europe, with great discretion, to visit those who were confined within their frontiers. Brother Roger died on 16 August 2005, at the age of 90, killed during the evening prayer. Since then, Brother Alois, whom Brother Roger chose as his successor many years ago, has been the prior of the Community.

Danas zajednicu iz Taizéa čini više od stotinu braće, katolika i protestanata, koji dolaze iz tridesetak zemalja. Samim svojim postojanjem, ona je «prispodoba zajednice» koja želi da njezin život bude znak pomirenja između podijeljenih kršćana i razdvojenih ljudi općenito. Braća zajednice žive isključivo od svoga rada. Ne primaju nikakve darove. Isto tako, ne primaju niti obiteljsko nasljedstvo za sebe; Zajednica ga daje najsiromašnjima. Neka braća žive u najugroženijim dijelovima svijeta kako bi ondje bili svjedocima mira, među ljudima koji pate. Te male skupine braće u Aziji, Africi i Južnoj Americi dijele životne uvjete s ljudima koji ih okružuju, pokušavajući biti živuća prisutnost ljubavi među najsiromašnijma, djecom s ulice, zatvorenicima, umirućima, onima koji su ranjeni zbog razrušenih odnosa i napuštenima. Tijekom godina, mladi dolaze u Taizé u sve većem broju; stižu sa svih kontinenata kako bi sudjelovali u tjednim susretima. Sestre sv. Andrije, međunarodna katolička zajednica osnovane prije 7 stoljeća, Paula preuzimaju dio zadataka vezanih uz doček mladih. Crkveni poglavari također dolaze u Taizé. Zajednica je tako primila papu Ivana Pavla II, četiri canterburyska nadbiskupa, pravoslavni metropoliti, četrnaest luteranskih biskupa iz Švedske i brojni pastori iz čitavog svijeta. Od 1962. godine braća i mladi ljudi koje šalje zajednica iz Taizéa kontinuirano odlaze u zemlje Istočne Europe, u velikoj diskreciji, kako bi posjetili one koji su bili «zarobljeni» unutar svojih granica. Brat Roger umro je 16. kolovoza 2005. godine u dobi od 90 godina. Ubijen je za vrijeme večernje molitve. Brat Alois, kojega je brat Roger prije mnogo godina izabrao za nasljednika, otad je prior zajednice.
