"I seek to meet each couple wherever they are on their faith journey
recognizing that each person has their own approach to spirituality and
religion. I encourage each couple to explore, examine and embrace their
spirituality and reflect this in their wedding ceremony. Through this process
their wedding can truly become a Sacred Moment of Life."
At the wedding rehearsal............... |
Over the last few years our world has changed in dramatic ways, from global
warming to an ever changing economic landscape. If that were not enough, we also
live in a multicultural pluralistic society. With so much change people still
continue to seek the unchanging values inherent in every religion and
spirituality. Many couples today upon leaving home and entering the work force
have fallen away from the practice of the religion of their youth... if they
even have had an exposure to one. They are on a journey, sometimes unsure of the
direction. The last thing they want or need is a clergyperson telling them what
to believe and using that as a test of whether or not he or she will marry them.
In addition, most pastors will not marry persons who are not "paying" members of
their church.
On the other hand, I seek to meet each couple wherever they are on their faith
journey recognizing that each person has their own approach to spirituality and
religion. I encourage each couple to explore, examine and embrace their
spirituality and reflect this in their wedding ceremony. Through this process
their wedding can truly become a Sacred Moment of Life.
Although I suggest that pre-marriage classes are indeed useful, I do not require
them to officate at a wedding ceremony.
