Thank you for everyone who was able to attend...you really made the meeting something truly remarkable. The majority of the session was a q&a with members of the clergy as the agenda for this month was rather small. I know a few of you were unable to attend due to technical issues...I want to reassure you that this will not be the only open meeting and I hope to see you in the next one after everyone has finished "eating their lan."
You may find the minutes below:
May you be happy, may you be free, and may the Force be with you.

I like this idea...I really like it a lot. It would almost be like a link; not necessarily providing services like confidence or ceremonies that require licensure or ordination, but something like "First Responders" who link and provide outsourcing/administration....I'll bring this up to Synod at the next meeting. Thank you for this idea.
2.5 hours is more like it!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Of course (!), external faiths are not barriers towards your participation in Seminary, in fact, there are several lessons within our program that talk about the importance of recognizing the various aspects of myth and religion to help you craft your own personal ministry. Being a Temple of many faiths and with the Force and Doctrine as our binding glue, we draw upon the various lessons and experiences of being that highlight what it means to be. My perspective only allows me to see part of the whole elephant so it’s good to listen to and reflect upon the ideals shared by other’s, not to blindly accept, but to analyze and guide us down our own path.
Your flavor of Jedi is worth something and if you are interested in joining the Clergy, my inbox is always open! I’d love to chat about the entrance requirements and admissions process with anyone who is willing to serve.
Serving on council is a whole 'nother ball park outside the duties and scope of Clergy, though. Clergy is provided with direction firstly by the Synod who is managed by Council.

Duties could be: learning the basics of active listening, helping to run clergy events like services (getting people to come), a basic service requirement, etc

Considering I could not get logged in to join in the meeting (kept saying the site was under maintenance) I do have a question, if anyone of the Clergy would be willing to answer it?
In the Minutes it did talk about people with their own ministries and own groups but I did not see anything talking about extended faiths or alternates being part of the Clergy. For example, me: I am a Heathen/Norse Jedi and while I believe in the Force and the teachings of the Temple I also believe in the Norse Pantheon. Given this alternative belief, would I be able to still be part of the Clergy and participate with the rest of the Clergy and later be on the Council?

I knew getting on the Council would be something different but I wanted to make sure that my slight differences of opinion based on my, as you called it, "flavor of Jedi" would not cause me to be overlooked by the powers that be or possibly denied without due cause for the previously mentioned reason?
I joined the Clergy right after I finished my IP, like 3 years or so ago, but I never got far with it because I was focused on my Apprenticeship. Though once I am through with that I would like to regain admittance and follow through with what I started.
