About OIIM's Ordained Ministers
An Ordained Interfaith Minister through OIIM has undertaken 3-4 years of intensive studies through OIIM's NTI Interfaith Seminary and is fully trained to perform all religious services such as weddings, funerals, baptisms, etc.
An OIIM Interfaith Minister has studied at least three, and usually six, different major religious traditions and is trained to help the individual to develop a sense of personal spirituality, drawing on the spiritual practices of many different religions. There is no specific doctrine with respect to matters of faith for the Interfaith Minister. There is a philosophy on the Interfaith Tradition as a spiritual expression as explored in Rev. Barry King’s book, Many Paths One Truth - Affirmation of Spirit. In addition OIIM has a set of basic principles, OIIM Interfaith Principles and ethics, A Code of Ethics for Spiritual Directors, within which the Ordained OIIM Interfaith Minister must function in order to maintain his/her status.
