WHAT IS AN INTERFAITH MINISTER?
An
Interfaith Minister is an ordained, self-employed and non-denominational Minister who has undertaken an intensive two year training in Ministry
and Spiritual Counselling with the Interfaith Foundation.
The core belief of the Foundation is “Many ways: One Truth” meaning that there is one God/Truth with many
wonderful and sacred paths leading to the Source of All. At the heart is Love, which is
the central focus of all faiths and traditions. Interfaith does not rival traditional religions but serves as an inclusive spiritual addition.
What does Interfaith Ministry mean for my ceremony?
The beauty of an
Interfaith ceremony is that it can include anything your heart desires and be held at a venue to suit your needs. Recent requests have
included a Stone Circle in Cumbria, a beach in Cornwall and the gardens of a Stately home.
Everything is possible and nothing is essential or prescribed. The ceremony will include the
elements that are right for you and your partner/family and which reflect your respective beliefs or none. If for example, you are drawn to the Native American tradition, your ceremony can be created to
reflect that. Likewise, if you are with someone of different beliefs to you, or from a different
religious background, the ceremony can incorporate elements from both. The key is respect and
flexibility.
Who creates
the ceremony?
As an Interfaith
Minister, your ceremony is co-created with me and I can offer suggestions for structure, content, music, readings and procedure and will
of course, be honoured to be your celebrant on the day.
