 What Students are Saying about Creating a Ceremonial Based Ministry...
"Thought I would share that I 'performed' my first wedding for a friend this past weekend and - you were seriously all with me. Susan's brilliant guidance/knowledge and your example and support made the whole thing quite literally - effortless!"
Rev Douglas Johnston
"I would recommend Rev.Susan Turchin's class "A Ceremonies Based Ministry" to any newly ordained minister and even to many of those not so newly ordained. The business aspect of ministry needs to be taught since some graduates feel that there is chasm between spiritual service and the necessity of making a living. Susan has an extraordinary ability to close that chasm and she does so in a way that enhances rather than lowers ones spiritual ideals. The huge amount of information and practical advice that she offers is always relevant. Most impressive however was Susan's kindness, her unstinting generosity and her warm, personalized sincerity."
Rev. Tony Zito
"While I was comfortable writing and delivering sermons in my own church community, the only wedding service I had written was for my minister's portfolio. In this class, lengthy discussions about creating weddings, researching, writing and performing wedding ceremonies in the class, uncovered my own personal wounds/issues/fears about marriage. Susan cultivated such a nurturing, safe and sacred setting, that I allowed myself to reveal and share the issues in community. Many nights I walked to Penn Station in the rain (it rained every Thursday) transformed. At the end of the class I realized that healing had taken place - that I was able to accept the love that was offered. The first night of the class I was sure that I was not interested in performing weddings. Today, I am prepared to include this as a part of my ministry. "
Rev. Leslie Skolnik
"I cannot appreciate you enough for all your support. When I was ordained I was very clear- I would never do a wedding. But with your support, and Allan's in the public speaking course, I did a wedding and I felt like a real minister. For my first wedding, I did very well and you would have been proud! …..more than that without the preparation I received in your class.
And it was more than the actual class work, it was your warm, loving and confident being that I took in by osmosis. Thank you for all your support and thank you for being you."
Rev Ann Brady
"Just want to let you know that we did our first wedding last night...and you were all there. It was absolutely wonderful, amazing, so affirming for both of us. We're still on Cloud 9 about it. The couple was so adorable and the service was seamless. We were both conscious of the things we've been learning with you these past weeks and that made us feel so confident. Dean Susan, you are the BEST at teaching this material and we felt you with us every step of the way. Thank you so much! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving."
