Community of Peace

Community of Peace in Louisa, Virginia (CPL) near Charlottesville, is an ecumenical, monastic community, modeled after the Community of Taizé in France.
Our mission is to offer each day a beautiful sung prayer for peace, to provide a warm welcome to visitors regardless of financial means, to engage in dialogue for peace with those of different religious and political views, and to enter into solidarity and service with the most vulnerable in society. We are committed to the ongoing work of anti-racism, racial reconciliation, economic equality, gender justice, and the empowerment of women and the LGBTQIA+ Community. We seek the renewal and unity of Christian churches, interfaith dialogue, environmental repair, the healing of the Earth, and climate justice.
