We are pleased to present the latest issue of the WCCM Journal, marking an important moment in our publication’s evolution. Formerly known as the WCCM Newsletter, the Journal reflects a renewed editorial vision. While the layout remains familiar, the focus has shifted more intentionally toward in-depth articles, reflection and contemporary engagement with the contemplative tradition.
This issue is dedicated to the centenary of John Main’s birth (1926–2026) and explores the continuing relevance of his teaching in today’s world. Highlights include:
- A letter from Laurence Freeman OSB reflecting on John Main’s legacy and the future of religion.
- Marco Schorlemmer on John Main’s wisdom for an age of AI, examining silence and intelligence in a technological culture.
- Kim Nataraja sharing how his teaching answered her search for meaning.
- Bram Ruiter on finding an integrated path through meditation and community.
- Thomas Litzler on silence, simplicity and the healing of the Earth.
