Certainly! These make for interesting, rich meaningful ceremonies. I work with you and your various traditions to develop a ceremony that truly represents your spiritual values.

I can do either the traditional ceremony or a totally non-religious ceremony at any location the couple desires. Most of the ceremonies are held in Manatee County or Sarasota County.

Different traditions in the Craft include Gardnerian Wicca, Alexandrian Wicca, Dianic Wicca, the Faery tradition, many branches of Celtic-based Wicca, and many other forms of Wicca often called eclectic, since they draw their practices and liturgy from many different sources. There is no way to include all traditions because new ones are being created every day by the practitioners themselves.

In principle, all religious traditions may be studied. However, our current faculty's expertise is predominantly in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Asian religions.

Students who have religious traditions which conflict with the residency program should contact us at residencies@waldenu.edu at least two months in advance of the residency to discuss possible accommodations.

Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam are the six great religions of the world. There is no founder for Hinduism. All the other religions have their founders. They are named after the name of the founder (except Islam). Jainism is only another form of Buddhism. Sikhism is based chiefly on Hinduism and partly on Islam. Brahmoism is born of Hinduism and Christianity and so on with other minor religions.

Different children need different kinds of help. Each child is unique. We believe in adjusting the approach to fit the child, and not in trying make the child fit into a fixed approach. Many children that we teach have multiple difficulties in addition to autism, such as motor problems, seizure disorders, speech defects, and visual, auditory or other sensory problems. These children require every tool at our disposal.

In many ways it is very similar. We can use basically the same ceremony that was used on their wedding day. But we also acknowledge the passing of years, growth of the family, and other milestones. Also, a renewal ceremony doesn't require going to the courthouse for a license.

All legal weddings in Turkey are civil ceremonies, a short informal service, traditionally conducted in Turkish with a translator provided.

No - there is no requirement to hold a religious funeral service, and there are a number of alternatives. Perhaps a relative or friend could take the service if they feel able to do so. Other Members of the congregation could speak or read verses or poems. The British Humanist Association has a network of officiants who will provide a very personal non-religious ceremony. Ask your Funeral Director for more information or to organise a Humanist ceremony.

I can advise you on all of the aspects of the ceremony. Once you have secured my services, you can feel free to call or email me as often as needed with questions or concerns.

Yes. The joining of two people many times includes the combining of two traditions. I will work with you to make your ceremony reflective of both faiths.

We believe in every church and in all forms of worship. Above all, we certainly believe in God! Because Truth is Infinite, It must be continuously unfolding in our consciousness and no one will ever have a complete understanding of Truth. A complete understanding of Truth would be a complete understanding of God, and a complete comprehension of God would be to become God. We know that more light will be given as we use that which we have.

That depends a lot on your character and what he thinks about relationships between the Traditions. There are, of course, feuds and rifts between certain Traditions, such as the largely-in-the-past antagonism between the Akashic Brotherhood and the Euthanatos or the slight emnity between the Celestial Chorus and the Order of Hermes. Of course, the reason that stereotypes of Traditions exist is because there are so many in that Tradition that fit that stereotype.

The services for burial and cremation are the same apart from the form of committal. The service may take place in one's church or chapel with a short committal service in the Crematorium Chapel. Alternatively the whole service may be conducted in the Crematorium Chapel. You may arrange for your own minister to conduct the service. The form of service should be arranged with the minister and if hymns are to be sung at the Crematorium, the organist there should be advised in advance. No.

Yes, you can be married in the Registrar's office. There are no Justice of the Peace in Bermuda and the Registrar can not perform marriages outside the office. If you choose to have a ceremony in a different setting, a minister will preside over the service.

Yes! TAYO can arrange for a pastor, rabbi, elder or leader of most faiths to act as your officiant in virtually any setting.

Yes. I am an ordained independent minister willing and able to perform ceremonies involving various religions. In fact, I specialize in interfaith ceremonies and I am part of an interfaith marriage myself. I can incorporate the customs and traditions of several religions into the ceremony and create a cohesive spiritual experience. As I have stated before, this is your wedding and I will do whatever I can to create the perfect experience.

The "Twelve Traditions" of A.A. are suggested principles to insure the survival and growth of the thousands of groups that make up the Fellowship. They are based on the experience of the groups themselves during the critical early years of the movement. The Traditions are important to both oldtimers and newcomers as reminders of the true foundations of A.A.

Unfortunately, due to printing schedules of certificates and ceremony programs, it is usually impossible to switch out of the assigned ceremony.

Indigenous culture infuses all that we do. Some courses focus upon different cultural traditions and nations. We do not conduct any indigenous spiritual ceremony on the campus. The Aboriginal Cultural Advisor is available to assist you in contacting elders and traditional people if you wish to pursue this aspect of native culture.
