Volume 3 of the Transformative Wisdom Series

Loneliness or Fruitful Longing is for pastors, counselors, and people seeking hope for their own loneliness. It expands on a talk originally delivered at the 20th annual Ancient Christianity and Afro-American Conference, a ministry of the Brotherhood of Saint Moses the Black.

Loneliness is at the root of many of our great personal and societal ills.  It contributes to:  physical health problems; mental health concerns; marital distress and divorce; and suicide, abortion, and more.

Learn what you can do to combat loneliness in your own life and the lives of people you care about.  There is an African proverb:  "It takes a village to raise a child."  It also takes a village to raise us out of loneliness.  Welcome to that village--we are doing this together.

The Transformative Wisdom Series engages the themes of spiritual, personal, and societal transformation, bringing to bear the timeless wisdom of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the cumulative wisdom of contemporary Western psychotherapies.
