Also with the adult choir that I am a part of, for Pentecost, did a beautiful chant from the Taize, which is entrance chant.

I personally would feel uncomfortable singing chants from non-Catholic sources (you do know that the founder of Taizé, Br. Roger, was a Protestant, right?)

Even Anglican? Not my taste, but it does flow quite well and it's not hard compared to some other forms.

Even so, was a baptized Christian and besides, Taize is what I call, starting, begining, or introduction to chanting.
