The World Community for Christian Meditation, inclusive of all denominations, shares a commitment to the discipline of meditation inspired by the early Christian Desert Fathers and Mothers, and John Cassian in particular, as taught by Fr. John Main, OSB (1926-1982). Today, his successor, Fr. Laurence Freeman OSB, a Benedictine monk and Director of the World Community for Christian Meditation, continues the teaching. It transforms our lives in its twice daily practice and creates a community that constitutes a monastery without walls.
