Many people also answer the call to the ministry.<\/p>\n<h1>Get Ordained to Perform a Wedding<\/h1>\n<p>There are a lot of weddings this time of year (second only to June wedding season) and thus\u00a0many become an ordained minister or rabbi in order to officiate a marriage. We ordain a lot of clergy\u00a0in order that\u00a0they may perform a wedding.<\/p>\n<h2>Get Ordained to Offer Spiritual Advice or Counseling<\/h2>\n<p>But also, there is an uptick every year this time in\u00a0people becoming ordained in order to offer spiritual guidance,\u00a0spiritual counseling to the slice of humanity that surrounds them.\u00a0 A person often realizes they\u00a0should become ordained when they notice friends and co-workers, even family are coming to them almost daily asking for spiritual advice.\u00a0They are\u00a0literally\u00a0already acting as informal clergy, and the next step is ordination to make it legal (and be able to accept donations). That, of course, is where our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northernway.org\/ordain.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Seminary<\/a> comes in.\u00a0 We ordain ministers and rabbis of all callings and denominations &#8212; even non-denominational!<\/p>\n<h3>Have you heard the Call to Ordination?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have felt that pull, that tug on your soul-strings, it might be time for you to <a href=\"http:\/\/northernway.org\/ordain.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">become an ordained member of the clergy<\/a>. We do all the legal paperwork and help you begin your destiny of helping humanity fulfill its vital spiritual needs.\u00a0 You may go on to found your own non-profit religious organization or church, or you may continue to serve your community as a spiritual guide.<\/p>\n<p>So much attention is paid to physical and mental needs, but ordained clergy serve a vital purpose helping their people\u00a0connect to SPIRITUAL needs.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have entered the end-of-year holidays, the most\u00a0powerful holiday\u00a0season of every year.
