S4 E11: Serving Today's Pagans through Constellated Ministry | A Southern Dialogue with Holli Emore

Pagan leaders or those that serve pagans in any type of ministry - this episode is especially for you!! My friend Holli Emore, Executive Director of Cherry Hill Seminary, talks to us about her new book, Constellated Ministry - A Guide for Serving Today's Pagans in this episode. She has created the term "constellated ministry" to describe the unique ministry needed for serving the pagan world. In this episode we'll talk about the following topics and MORE!

• Holli's personal spiritual journey & coming out of the broom closet
• How she became involved with Cherry Hill Seminary & Interfaith Partners of South Carolina
• What does SPNR (Spiritual but not Religious) have to do with paganism?
• Do we really want to be solitary pagan practitioners?
• What is "constellated" ministry?
• What do pagan ministers do?
• What do pagans want in spiritual care? If anything?
• What training do pagan ministers need?
• The changing pagan landscape
• Pagan ethics; confidentiality vs secrecy
• Raising pagan children and whether we need pagan ministry to children
• What Cherry Hill Seminary offers for everyone, not just those in ministry!
