The Community aims to communicate and nurture meditation as passed on through the teaching of John Main, in the Christian tradition, in the spirit of serving the unity of all.

The World Community for Christian Meditation practices and promotes contemplative prayer in the form of silent meditation. The UK is the original home of this now international, ecumenical community which began in London in 1975, led by Benedictine monk Dom John Main.

We hope you find that this site helps deepen your understanding and supports your daily meditation practice.

In love and peace
