Interfaith Seminary Program
Non-Ordination Path: Independent Study

If becoming an ordained minister is not your goal but you would like to go on the ultimate treasure hunt to discover, cultivate and prepare to offer your unique inner treasure in service to a greater good, you may simply purchase the six-part, twenty-six module The Path of Crow: Journey to Your Innter Treasure - Program for Independent Study. The course is perfect for both your own personal use and/or for use in groups of spiritually like-minded people.

Though The Path of Crow: Journey to Your Inner Treasure - Program for Independent Study is a stand-alone course, we strongly recommend supplementing the study with An Ordinary Life Transformed: Lessons for Everyone from the Bhagavad Gita by Rev. Stephanie Rutt and Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard. The curriculum includes optional exercises drawing from these two allegories.

An Ordinary Life Transformed: Lessons for Everyone from the Bhagavad Gita by Rev. Stephanie Rutt, (Eastern Perspective)

Hobblebush Books, and available at Barnes and Noble Bookshops

ISBN: 13:978-0-9760896-6-7

This book evolved from 9 years of Bhagavad Gita study groups, facilitated by Rev. Stephanie Rutt, with participants from all religions and walks of life. It provides an interfaith perspective of the universal truths, expressed in this beloved scripture of India, which challenges each of us to rise up and live out our destiny in service to a greater good.

Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard, (Western-Chrisian Perspective)

Living Books, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.

ISBN: 978-0-8423-1429-9 (Paperback)

This well-loved allegory from the Christian tradition describes the journey of Much Afraid as she seeks to follow the Good Shepherd to the High Places. Along the way, there are challenges and lessons to be experienced and integrated which seekers from all faith traditions will recognize: triumphing over adversity; transforming grief and pain into something incomparably precious; learning to surrender what does not serve to know the love of God in new and, sometimes, unexpected ways.
