I’ve read several references to John Main in connection with meditation and related practices. Then, a book catalog shows up with 6- 8 books by John Main in it. Anyone know anything about him?
I didn’t know anything about him til’ I just saw your post, but in searching the web I found a website which distributes the writings of John Main which focus on his teachings concerning Christian Meditation but I won’t post a link to it since this site seems to promote the writings of such people as Bede Griffiths, the Dalai Lama and Sister Joan Chittister who is pro-women’s ordination.
Here’s a quote from the website to chew on…
Meditation, of course, is a Universal Tradition found in all the great religions. As such, it offers an important common ground for inter-religious dialog and a basis for peace in the world. Many Christians have been helped to recover contact with their own tradition of meditation, or contemplative prayer, because of the work of Fr. John Main, who is the inspiration of the World Community.
