Brother Roger's work with young people and his efforts toward Christian renewal were enough to win him the second annual Templeton Prize, an $80,000 award by the U.S.-based Templeton Foundation to a person "who has inspired a new thrust in religion and contributed to the knowledge and love of God." Two weeks ago at Windsor Castle, Prince Philip presented the prize. Brother Roger plans to give the money to poor young people who share the Taizé ideal of "struggle and contemplation." He began by leaving part of it to youths struggling for peace in Northern Ireland and others who are working among Asian and African immigrants in Britain. "I would go to the ends of the earth," he said, "to tell and tell again of my trust in the new generation."
