Wiccan Studies

By Rev. Theresa Commean It was with a great deal of trepidation that I entered into the studies of Wicca.  I graduated from a Baptist college with a degree in Youth Pastoring and have worked in various churches for the past twenty years.  When I met my husband, he was a pagan.  I had quite a few pre-conceived notions about

Spirit Quest

Final Essay Like so many of the seminary students I have taken some time to write this essay. With pages and pages of notes and posts (some lost in the forum oblivion   :o)  and more ideas, experiments and happenings resulting from the course, it’s hard to put in a few words all the benefit this class has provided. From the

Comparative Religion

What you gained from this course? The main theme I learned from this course is a greater and more profound understanding of belief structures as a whole, both of the Eastern and Western view points. There is one particular section in chapter 19 where it speaks about “Saints” that has struck a resonating cord within me. If I may quote

Metaphysical Healing

The “Human Energy Fields” was as wonderfully detailed overview of the body and its many components. The energy fields and chakras discussion was vital for what was to come in the rest of the course. The added illustrations helped considerably in learning the material. The “How to do it” lesson is excellent. I firmly believe that if we cannot heal

Master Of Religion

By Rev. Gwendolyn Kerr Simpson The Master Of Religion Course was very enjoyable for me. I believe that it was written well and very informative. I liked going through the history of the church through this course.                 In the beginning of this course when it taught how the Bible was taught by different authors at different times. But that

Four Gospels

I selected this course in order to gain a deeper understanding of the life of Jesus.  Having read the gospels several times in the past, I noted the conflicting accounts and timelines stated in each of the four books.  But in focusing on Jesus, the human being, rather than Jesus the divine, I was able to take away from the

A Course In Miracles

As a former student of the Course in Miracles I can see many similarities in this course of study. It is basically a positive way of living or perceiving things in a different way, through different eyes. The ego, because it is constantly in the survival mode, is always ready to defend, protect or attack. What this course teaches is

Chaplaincy Program

Rev. Travis Richardson What did you learn? This course has provided to me valuable insight in to the history of a Chaplain and the role that Chaplains have provided. Although I was aware there are Chaplains in the Military, Police Forces, Fire Departments, Hospitals, Prisons and so on, I was unaware of the roles that the Chaplain actually provided. Not

Metaphysics

I have found the above course to be very stimulating in that I have not studied most of the subjects before, and therefore I have certainly improved my knowledge of some aspects although I realize that others will need more attention. The question of meditation was a difficult one as it was not easy for me initially to concentrate sufficiently

Defining Spiritualism

 We have seen many differing theories of Spiritualism during our studies here and are now at the gates as it were of our Final time. Does this make us “Masters” of Spiritualism? I believe that it has helped increase our knowledge a small bit and helped us to be able to answer a few more of the probing questions with
