The Wanderer’s Story
Fr. Kenneth J. Nelan is a Franciscan-hearted, Anglican priest, licensed psychotherapist, and spiritual writer whose work rests at the intersection of mystery, mercy, and healing.
His early formation began in a Roman Catholic seminary and later found fuller expression in the Anglican priesthood, where he continues to serve with open hands and a quiet love for liturgy, silence, and the wounded Church.
Fr. Kenn is currently pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Mount Mary University, with a clinical focus on trauma, soul care, and the sacred work of repair. His working dissertation is on how Microaggressions affect spirituality when controlling for religious abuse.
Fr. Kenn is also an engaging speaker, having shared his insights at numerous spiritual conferences, workshops, and events. His commitment to spiritual guidance, social justice, and interfaith harmony has earned him acclaim and a dedicated following, making him a beacon of hope for those seeking healing and understanding.
Through his private counseling practice and his presence in spiritual communities, he walks alongside the bruised and the hopeful alike.
A table set in wilderness.
A hand extended in quiet faith.
