2013 Week 38

Each Sunday I share a photo and word that represents what I am grateful for and brief message.

GRATEFUL WORD:

Inclusive.  This morning I officiated a unique ceremony that brought each adult who attended to tears.  They all shared that it was the most beautiful ceremony that they had witnessed.  A couple chose to combine a spiritual welcoming ceremony incorporating the earth elements of fire, air, earth, and water with a traditional Christian Baptism.  

Being a non-denominational pastor with an organization that serves all without exception, allows me to be a part of many unique and special ceremonies (weddings, funerals, baptisms, and other life rituals.)

Today the parents named guardians and spiritual guardians for their daughter who seemed appropriately attentive right on cue.  

I know that some clergy does not approve or recognize the work that is done outside of their own belief system, training or religion.  In the minds, hearts and words of those whom we have served since 2009 our work is important, needed more than ever, and is welcomed.  I am Chaplain Royal Bush and I believe everyone is beautiful, loved and worthy just as they are.
