Hello Amy, It was nice to get your newsletter, I always enjoy reading them, and sometimes get some god ideas from them to use.
I have been a practicing Pagan Priest for over 20 years. In that time I have had little trouble with legality issues for Pagan issues. However I was asked to move to Ohio a couple of years ago, and was informed that my status as a Priest was not acceptable for performing weddings etc. Something which I did not know. I began to ask around in the community, and found out I had a great deal in common with Interfaith Ministers as well as Pagan Clergy.
After doing some soul searching, I realized that I could be both, and with that realization I looked for ordainment as a Minister to be able to legally help those in the community both Pagan and Christian as well as other religions. I found the ULC. I have been very happy to be associated with ULC over the past couple of years, and am currently starting a Pagan Church in the Akron Ohio area with some other ULC Ministers whom I have been lucky to meet and befriend.
As for a picture, the following will have to do for now, I have longer hair and more grey in it now, but I still look about the same.
Good luck with this feature and keep the newsletters coming.
Rev. James S. Harper (Jae)
