Ministry School

The Circle Of Miracles Ministry Program offers you two powerful choices:

1. Take courses for your personal growth and enjoyment. You do not need to be enrolled in the Ministry Program to attend Circle Of Miracles courses. Some Saturday classes are open to anyone who wishes to participate.

2. Enroll in the Ministry Program and become an ordained Interfaith Minister. The curriculum incorporates classroom structure along with independent study, experiential workshops, a community service outreach project and a practicum. Upon completion, as an ordained minister, you are legally entitled to perform all the functions of a minister, such as weddings, birth/adult namings, conducting funerals, spiritual guidance counseling and Circle Of Miracles church services.

NOTE:

Our next Class begins on June 8, 2012. Please call 215-598-8002 for a personal consultation or email School@CircleOfMiracles.org for a catalog.

The Circle Of Miracles Church is a non-denominational/interfaith church. That means, we are multi-faith, welcoming all religions, and seek to foster personal Spiritual connection. The Ministry School is designed to encompass diverse religious approaches and spiritual paths and to realize we are not a separate self but a unique expression of the singular reality one may call God. This is not a new religion, it is not about religion, it is about a genuine experience of divinity. Many who attend the Sunday Celebrations and the Ministry School maintain their connection with a particular religion. Circle of Miracles is about exploration, development and enrichment of ones own philosophy of true being.

Circle Of Miracles School of Ministries meets for a weekend of classes every 6 weeks over 13 months. During the 6 weeks between classes the students are reading books such as The Power of Intention, by Dr. Wayne Dyer; Sacred Contracts, by Carolyn Myss, PhD; Loving What Is, by Byron Katie; The Ethics of Caring, by Kylea Tyler, and many others. They are given a reading guide with questions to examine for each book which they then write a report on. The books are further discussed and expanded on over the next weekend.

Every 6 weeks the students also research and write about a different major world religion, which is then discussed on the Sunday of the next class weekend. They study the founding principles and also the religious and/or cultural rituals. This helps prepare them to create meaningful celebrations for weddings, baby namings and funeral/memorial services. It also allows them to find the commonality, that they are all very much alike. They're all originally based in love and peace.

In addition every 6 weeks a different way of meditation is practiced daily. There is ongoing self-study throughout the program: What is Your Body Telling You? and exploring the lessons in the book Love Is Letting Go Of Fear, by Gerald G. Jampolski, MD.

Within the course, the students are required to complete a minimum of 20 hours Community Outreach service, most go way beyond the minimum. There is also an in-house Practicum, a minimum of 4 Sundays assisting at Circle Of Miracles church celebrations, culminating in the planning, organizing and conducting of a Circle Of Miracles Celebration of their own. In preparation for this, they also take turns planning opening and closing prayers for each day of classes each school weekend.

Some of the other courses include: Strong & Wise: The Four Keys to Transforming Pain; Public Speaking with Ease; Prayer; Sacred Listening: Spiritual Coaching; Spirit Soul, Self and the Archetypes; Accounting and Taxes for Ministers; Metaphysics: Access to The Divine through Science; Professionalism/Ethics; and Law for Ministers.

The course offers many inspiring opportunities for self exploration, development and spiritual growth, as well as the practicalities of being an interfaith minister.
