- Abstract
- The thesis of this study is that the relationship between humans and animals can be integrated into spiritual practices to bring inspiration and inclusiveness to engage the contemplative life and gain greater awareness of animal life. The project used a varied methodology including library and proactive qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research included videotaped sections oft he spiritual formation program in a local church and participants' journals of the experiences of praying with pets over the same period of time. The qualitative research, a survey to assess individuals' prayer frequency and their openness for integrating animals into spiritual practices was administered in three churches. This research had led me to conclude that including animals in contemplative practices brings spiritual, psychological, and physiological welfare and inspires people to spend more time in solitude with God.
