Some of us have always known our Source

Page 4: Chs2010

And some of us journeyed for a

long time to find our way

Page 5: Chs2010

Then there are some of us who want to know more, do more, serve others with what we’ve learned

Page 6: Chs2010

There’s so much to learnSo much we didn’t know might be part of the journey

Page 7: Chs2010

The time has come for a new kind of learning

Time for Cherry Hill Seminary

Page 8: Chs2010

Not a building or campus, Cherry Hill Seminary is online

distance education, plus periodic conferences,

workshops, and, for master’s students,

annual “intensives.”

Page 9: Chs2010

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

Page 10: Chs2010

To our knowledge, Cherry Hill Seminary offers the first Pagan Master of Divinity degree in the world

Page 11: Chs2010

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.

Page 12: Chs2010

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.

Page 13: Chs2010

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.

Page 14: Chs2010

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.

Page 15: Chs2010

Neo-Paganism is one of the fastest-growing religions in the world

Page 16: Chs2010

There are many resources available for training in specific Pagan traditions, and many are now ready to begin serving outside their local groups.

Page 17: Chs2010

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.

Page 18: Chs2010

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.

Page 19: Chs2010

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.

Page 20: Chs2010

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)

Page 21: Chs2010

• 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
