Inclusive Interfaith

Interfaith

Services

The following are specific examples of my services, including spiritual advising on a number of topics. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss a related service not on the list.

Ceremony and Ritual
As an interfaith minister, I offer my services to those seeking a trained religious professional to conduct ceremonies, commonly marriage and baptism. I also work with individuals, couples, and groups to design custom ceremonies and rituals ranging from confirmation to spiritual vows to memorial vigils.
Conflict Management
Spiritual advising for conflict management means gaining tailored insights into the ways that great teachers and traditions have approached the related topics of conflict and reconciliation. These frameworks can help you manage a current conflict--or prevent a new one from emerging in the first place!
Discernment
Discernment refers to interpreting Divine will and spiritually-informed decisions more generally. Advising on discernment will offer insight into spiritual decision-making in multiple religious and spiritual traditions.
Oral History
Based on listening and interviewing skills from both seminary and sociological training, I offer my skills in a specialized form of interviewing that is oral history. Typically oral history is conducted with elder family members about pivotal as well as daily moments throughout their lives. Oral history may also be conducted regarding organizational history.
Reading Buddy
I will read and then discuss religious and spiritual texts with you. Texts may be your choice or my recommendation and might include foundational scriptures, such as the Bible. Books or articles on topics related to religious history and doctrine, spiritual guidance, religious practice, and sociology of religion are also welcome. Finally, certain works of fiction may be discussed and mutually agreed upon as reading material.
Soul Work
Soul work begins where you have spiritual questions. What are spiritual approaches to dating, marriage, and divorce? What are spiritual approaches to living with a chronic mental health issue? What are spiritual approaches to loss and grief?
Thanatology
Along with experience in nursing home chaplaincy, I bring a great deal of compassion to the dying and to all parties involved with end of life care. My personal background and formal training encompass many traditions on death and dying as well as loss and grieving. I can provide religious as well as sociological insight into these difficult topics.

An interfaith minister accompanies individuals from all faiths and cultural backgrounds as they plumb the depths of their inner worlds and navigate life’s challenges. For those whose spirituality can be described as inter-spiritual or interfaith, there is no single text or religious authority from which we derive our truth. Seeking truth is itself the practice and this is a journey we’ll be on for the rest of our lives.

As I understand it, the role of an interfaith minister is one of compassionate witness. In no way do I present myself as an expert in religion or describe myself as having any special divine talents. That being said, what I am rather good at is making space for important conversations. With years of professional interviewing experience behind me, the one thing I’m confident about is my ability to ask good questions.

sapience

wisdom, sagacity

Working with an interfaith minister can look different for everyone. The problems we deal with in life are myriad. But what most of us have in common is that when we are mired deep in a problem or crisis, sometimes it just helps to talk it through with someone who can make space for that conversation to happen. In the most basic sense, that’s what I believe interfaith ministers do best. The rest is negotiable.
