- What does a Friend do?
A Friend provides financial support to The World Community for Christian Meditation
towards its work of sharing the gift of Christian Meditation worldwide. In particular, a
Friend supports the work of the Community in developing, nurturing and assisting
emerging Christian Meditation communities in locations where there may be no
regional or national contacts or coordinators.
How can I be a Friend?
You can choose to send a personal contribution to be an Individual Friend. Additionally,
or alternatively, you can also choose to be a Group Friend by contributing jointly with
your meditation group. We invite donations annually.
What does a Friend contribute?
Any donation you may like to offer will be gratefully accepted. We will acknowledge all
the donations received.

draft, telegraph transfer, money order, standing order or credit card (either directly or

Your commitment
You can choose to make a:

Where does the money go?
Different emerging communities and different local circumstances dictate different
needs. We try to address these needs in the hope of nourishing spiritual growth. Your
contribution may support any of the following initiatives:
- Retreats, talks and presentations by Father Laurence in emerging Christian
Meditation communities.
- The WCCM School for Teachers which trains meditation teachers world-wide
and provides resources for them.
- Distribution of regular resource materials to meditation groups worldwide,
including the quarterly WCCM international newsletters and video or audio
recording of talks.
- Translation of resource materials into different languages to reach out to a
wider audience of meditators.
- Publications of books and audio/video resources which may not be
commercially viable, but are necessary.
- Interfaith dialogue to raise awareness, promote understanding and bring about
harmony.
- Touching lives of the marginalised, the sick, the imprisoned in the hope of
bringing them to wholeness.
- Planting the seed of meditation in the young so it may become a way of life for
them.

such as:
