While virtual, these relationships can be deeply meaningful and authentic. Many users report forming strong bonds with their virtual faith-based friends.
Qualifications of Companions:

All spiritual advisors with Eldr are thoroughly vetted and qualified, often with backgrounds in pastoral care, chaplaincy, or religious studies.
