Minister Ordination - By: R.A. Zorger

Ordination as a minister is about being committed to service. By definition a minister is an assistant and servant. However pastors are not only in service to the church that has ordained them but also to the ideals of the religious organization and the pubic at large.

My organization, the Church of Spiritual Humanism, invests power and authority in its ordained ministers to promote the concept of a religion based on reason, science, and logic. The principles and tenets of Spiritual Humanism are enumerated at the Church�s official web site.

In exchange for agreeing to actively promote ideals such as treating all people as equals, holding beauty of nature with religious reverence, and basing religious beliefs only on scientifically verifiable fact, the Church of Spiritual Humanism grants people the power and authority to minister religious ceremonies through the process of ordination.

To paraphrase Spiderman�s Uncle, �With great power comes great responsibility.� When carrying out weddings as a minister you are also duty bound to act as a spiritual leader and adviser to the nuptial couple. While it is a precept of Spiritual Humanism that all people can act in a religious leadership role, it does not happen without effort.

A minister must be committed to thinking a little deeper then the average person. Pastors need to be prepared to address tough questions and issues that they themselves may have never personally needed to face. They need to have a passion for helping their fellow humans, to the extent of knowing both the problems people different from themselves face, and the solutions that can work to improve people�s quality of life.

Being a minister is a challenge but it is its own reward. If somewhere deep down inside you feel that special calling to help others and to be of service to humankind then you should become a minister for the Church of Spiritual Humanism. Our clergy ordination is free with your pledge to promote the ideals of a religion based on reason. You can visit our web site and be ordained as a minister now, without delay.
