Shere Carinci - ordained 1998; St. John the Divine, New York City

A rising number of Americans today say they are "spiritual but not religious".  Fifteen-twenty percent say they don't identify with any religion, and many spiritual folks avoid faith labels - yet a good percentage of those folks believe in God and more than half say they pray at least daily.  Some people divide the world in half: spiritual and secular, or heavenly and earthly, or human and divine, while others find the lessons and blessings in simply experiencing every part of life with a whole heart.  Some take the universal human experience and go deeper with full moment to moment attention. Some talk about spirituality as a journey not a destiny, while others talk about "be here now". Spirituality can be found and expressed in the relationships you have now, even the crabby painful ones. Some take their spirituality to the outdoors where the look at a sunset or the great rivers and mountains give a feeling of "connection" with something beyond oneself. Some people will say that the sensory spiritual lift can carry you just so high and that the "word" is the way to know God and others will surely know God by sweet sound.  I say its all SACRED whatever the path.

I am honored to perform weddings and other ceremonies and have been doing so in and around the Triangle and beyond in New York and Connecticut since 1998. Further information please contact me at luvcre8s@gmail.com
