What Is an Interfaith and Inter-spiritual Minister?

An interfaith and inter-spiritual minister assists people of all faiths and paths—religious, spiritual, and secular—to discover and deepen one’s unique and authentic relationship to one’s wise inner self and to that larger something, beyond oneself. Call it the divine, God, love, humanity, nature, or whatever is one’s sacred source of meaning, truth, and strength.

My Vision and Mission

As an interfaith and inter-spiritual minister, I honor and engage the vast diversity of faiths, beliefs, traditions, and life experiences. I seek to discern the deeper unity and universal truths in them. My work is grounded in the underlying common values of love, compassion, kindness, peace, forgiveness, respect, tolerance, humility, curiosity, open-mind, open-heart, and “do no harm.” I serve people primarily as a companion, mirror, guide, and educator toward the following spiritual and life aims:

• Harmonize one’s inner and outer life, and more deeply attune it to the sacred source
• Increase joy and ease pain and suffering
• Embrace and celebrate the milestones, transitions, and sacred in life
• Discern life meaning and purpose
• Support healing and growth
• Transform conflict
• Address challenges around personal goals, self-image, love, relationships, family, work, and health
