Join contemplative prayer research study

You are invited to take part in a research project on prayer in the Protestant Church.

The study requires you to spend approximately two hours each in two classes, six weeks apart, and to practice a prayer for 20 minutes a day for six weeks.

You will be asked to complete assessment forms and to answer a questionnaire mailed at a later date. You must be over the age of 15 and fluent in English.

Your participation may help you become more conscious of how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are affected by certain spiritual practices.
