Abstract

In this convergent mixed methods study, I sought to mitigate pastoral loneliness using centering prayer. I examined the isolation experienced by clergy, citing data before and during the recent pandemic. From the data gathered in my four-week intervention, I found a correlation between decreased pastoral loneliness and centering prayer.
