The huge pipe organ at Riverside Church in Manhattan howls two loud chords as the doors to the chapel open and the 2500 pairs of eyes of those seated in the pews turn to witness an unusual processional. You are invited to join us, too, as our One Spirit Interfaith Seminary and Interspiritual Counseling class of 2011 steps forward into their ministries at their commencement ceremony and celebration.

The processional is like none other seen. No matching, coordinated caps and gowns here. Each new graduate has chosen their unique expression of the sacred as they proceed down the aisle in the vestments that most clearly represent who they are. It is like a rainbow, the only effort at coordination being the ministerial stoles that hang from their necks. The colorful parade ensues. Each graduate carries a white rose, symbolizing the mystical truth at the core of each faith tradition, and representing each heart pouring itself out in love. The roses form a grand bouquet that stands at the center of the ceremonial space.A moving Interfaith/Interspiritual worship service unfolds, with blessings and prayers shared by clergy from many of the worlds great traditions.

We invite you to join us in honoring and celebrating the graduation of the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary Class of 2011, and to experience the awe and splendor of this special rite of passage

Glen Ganaway and I teach A Course in Miracles class at T.R.S. every other Wednesday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. We start at 7:00pm. The Room is under Roger Mapes.

We go over the calendar lessons, but our focus is on learning the thought system it teaches. Some of those attending are doing the lessons much slower than one a day. Some attending are not doing the lessons, but reading the book only. It doesn't matter. It is the use of the concepts that will prove that the ideas are true.

Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
There in lies the Peace of God.

Join us for a discussion of A Course in Miracles.

January 5th and 19th
February 2nd and 16th
March 2nd and 16th and 30th
And so on....

Email me, call me! And I'll be glad to answer any questions.
