I've been enjoying your blog for some ti...Hello<br />I've been enjoying your blog for some time. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. <br /><br />One other area you might investigate is the interfaith seminary route. Several of us from the Rochester NY UU church have or will graduate from a phenomenal program in NYC at One Spirit Interfaith Seminary. We do not get a masters and it's only two years parttime. While none of us is planning on parish ministry, we are ordained and are bringing a deep ministry to our church. Mostly we are older, mid-50s - 60s who make up for the academia with the wisdom of life experience.<br /><br />I think to thrive, our congregations ought to be looking at this as well as the deacon route you described earlier. Our church is certainly benefitting. <br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Joy Collins, First Unitarian Church of Rochester NYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
