Transcript of Chs2010
Some of us have always known our Source
And some of us journeyed for a
long time to find our way
Then there are some of us who want to know more, do more, serve others with what we’ve learned
There’s so much to learnSo much we didn’t know might be part of the journey
The time has come for a new kind of learning
Time for Cherry Hill Seminary
Not a building or campus, Cherry Hill Seminary is online
distance education, plus periodic conferences,
workshops, and, for master’s students,
annual “intensives.”
This means you can study without leaving home, pursuing a personal course of study, or working towards one of our certificates or a master’s degree
To our knowledge, Cherry Hill Seminary offers the first Pagan Master of Divinity degree in the world
Our students come from all over the United States, as well as other English-speaking countries. Because of our distance-learning mode, most qualified individuals with internet access can receive a quality higher education not available anywhere else.
Many of our students are already accomplished professionals who are ready to deepen their Pagan practice and desire both the theory and practical skills which will make them more effective in their communities.
Our directors, faculty and staff are some of the best in
their field, including individuals with
extensive practical and career
experience, in addition to their
own Pagan spiritual journeys. They live in every part of the
U.S., and other countries, too.
CHS is a 501c3 nonprofit organization; our business office is located in Columbia, South Carolina.
Our staff reside in several different states, collaborating online and by phone.
Neo-Paganism is one of the fastest-growing religions in the world
There are many resources available for training in specific Pagan traditions, and many are now ready to begin serving outside their local groups.
For this we need a professional, competent, educated and recognizable group of scholars, leaders, teachers, chaplains and clergy who have been educated at the graduate level – in a Pagan learning environment, by Pagans, and for Pagans.
As a religious program, CHS is
exempt from state regulation .
We are committed, however, to
meeting state requirements voluntarily, to
demonstrate the standards of
excellence our students deserve.
Our goal is to become an accredited graduate program. In the United States educational accreditation is a peer review process coordinated by accreditation commissions and the members. The process takes several years to prepare for and complete.
As there is currently no accrediting religious organization for Pagan schools, we plan to apply for accreditation from the Distance
Education and Training Council (DETC)
At CHS you may learn about –
• Ancient philosophy• Ethics and boundaries• Ritual history, theory and practice• Pagan religions throughout time and around the world• Religion, the law and advocacy• Building, nurturing and maintaining community• Rites of passage• Chaplaincy and ministry within institutions• Pastoral counseling• Children, youth and religion• Ministry related to dying and death• Ecopsychology and green spirituality• Nonprofit management• Effective communications for Pagan organizations
