How many ministers/priests etc ARE there here?

**Cavebear58** · 18th October 08, 12:40 PM

I'm intrigued... I've noticed a lot of messages from pastors, ministers, reverends etc.

Ever curious, and as a newish member, I wondered if we could build up a list of us in a thread? I don't know why or what use it might have some networking potential.

Thanks
Graham.

I am one of Colorado's only ordained pagan ministers. Those of us in pagan religions have a hard time meeting the state's criteria so there aren't a lot of us. (When I say state criteria, I mean that we are encouraged to be involved with a congregation of I think 100 or more. It's NOT a legal requirement- just something that is encouraged, and is worded in such a way that a lot of mistakenly think it is a requirement and are discouraged as a result.)

Southern Baptist minister here. Seeing one of us in a kilt is akin to seeing Hamish wearing Levi's.

I'm head usher and my wife is music director at our inter-denominational church. Do I get half credit?!

I am a Buddhist monk, ordained in the Drikung Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Tomorrow I plan to wear robes but with a clargy tartan and take some students to the Stone Mountain Highland games.

I suppose I should have mentioned my faith...

I'm a Neo Druid.

I'm not "ordained", but up until recently (due to scheduling conflicts) I was a highschool youth leader at my church for the past 5 years.

I also have done outreach with outlaw motorcycle clubs (my background allows them & "street kids" to trust/respect me rather quickly ).

One of the hats I wear is pastor of The Journey--an "ancient-future" and Celtic tinged church in Flagstaff, Arizona. I am formally ordained. I have a kilt in my clan tartan, and am trying to decide which clergy kilt to buy.
