New Minister Sacred Covenant
Out of a co-creation process facilitated by Dr. Kathy Hearn and Rev. Christine Green, Columbia CSL has set the foundation for each of us to do our part in consciousness as we call in our new Senior Minister.
Please join us in affirming this Sacred Covenant:
There is only One Life! This Life is Good! This Life is God! This Life is my Life now!
In knowing that I am One with this Life that is God, I therefore know that I am one with all of Its blessed expressions, which includes the Presence of a New Minister for my beloved Spiritual Community.
Because I know that the highest Purpose of my New Minister is to express God, I therefore know that my New Minister is a Revelation of God as Love. I further know that my New Minister is the fulfillment of that which has been promised by God, for it is written: “Wherever you are, whatever you do, BE Love (Rumi).”
As I stand in agreement with my beloved Community, I see my New Minister revealed before me as a gracious expression of Divine Love, Wholeness and Light.
I now intend to experience my New Minister in full cooperation and agreement with my community, knowing this Truth about myself, for…
I am inspired to live and love each day with God as my source of inspiration.
I am awakening my understanding of my divinity and the divinity of all.
I am demonstrating the truth, wisdom, and wholeness of God.
I am being an example of caring, acceptance, and generosity in our community and beyond.
I am being a light in the world, while living and teaching the principles of the SOM.
I am (insert a personal affirmation)
I am (insert a trans-personal affirmation)
As I now accept the highest expression of a New Minister into my life, I know that they are revealed in a way that expresses God and serves the highest and greatest good of all who are touched by their Presence. I am grateful God is gracious.
And so it is.
