Dave,

Can department funds be used for me to take this course? I’d really like to go through it and it can be done on-line so it wouldn’t interfere with my classes or scholarship. In fact, with this background I could apply for some faith-based initiative funds to cover my research in simulating talking in tongues using AIBO robots (the NASA grant stops at the end of the summer). What do you think?

I am a member of this and am an ordained minister (my web presence is here). It’s only $60.00, so maybe everyone would want to take part. Here’s an example course.

Thanks!
BillT

ULC Seminary Announcement

Hello "William James Tietjen",

We are pleased to announce the release of a new seminary course, Master of Druidism. This is a brand new course, just released. Like with most of our programs, it's 20 lessons long and has a degree connected to it. It's worth 4 units towards final graduation.

Also, we are, for now at least, suspending the Master of Buddhism and Dr. of Shamanism at the author's request. Those of you who are still taking the course will be able to complete the course with no problem, but for now we are not taking any new students in those classes.

We will also be releasing the course on Reiki shortly, so please keep checking back.

At this time, we are looking for authors of new programs. I have had several people talk to me about writing different courses and I'm currently waiting for those people to follow through with outlines and lessons.

If you have expertise in any area and are a good writer, we are looking for someone to write the following programs:

Dr. of Wiccan Studies

Dr. of Buddhism

Dr. of Shamanism

Master of Shamanism

Dr. of Paganism

Master of Christian Studies

Master of Buddhism

Dr. of Religion

Dr. of Comparative Religion

Any courses on Spiritual or Religious Counseling

We have a course on Ethics that has been suggested as well.

If you have a lot of knowledge in any of these (or other related areas) and would like to write a course, please email me at amy@ulcseminary.org with your course idea, an outline for the 20 lessons and what your qualifications are for writing the course and we can discuss it. You will be compensated for your work.

(Oh, also, if your name is appearing incorrectly, no worries; just let me know and I'll fix it.)

BTW, Joey can tell you that I tried to apply for faith-based initiative funds several years ago. At that time they were particularly interested in supporting community activities for young people. I applied for funds to support the development of a Wiccan Community in Shelby County. I had a nice forested space (20 acres) picked out to purchase and checked on what it would cost for a Stonehenge-like alter. I wanted to have it set up so that during the summer young people could visit the site and commune with nature. At first I didn’t get a response but when I wrote back to the program director he said that it was open to all religions and encouraged me to apply. Unfortunately I didn’t get funding and I suspect it was because I didn’t have a degree.

Honest! Check this out with Joey. She’ll tell you it’s all true!
