My Ministry

My Ministry, Values & Principles

I have been called to devote my life to be of service to my fellow human beings. I have chosen to manifest this in the form of a Spiritual ministry, and on that basis I accept ordination in order to solemnize and empower that ministry. I recognize that each individual follows their own path to spiritual awakening. I vow to respect all paths and honor all paths toward their eternal truth. I further recognize the diversity of the world and vow to perform my ministerial duties without prejudice of any kind. These vows I make as a matter of public record and swear to eternally keep them for the good of all.

~Rev. Randy Taylor

Ministry

An Interfaith Minister is someone who seeks to promote understanding, harmony, and love among people by emphasizing what is universal in the teachings of the many spiritual paths and faith traditions. An Interfaith Minister has chosen to learn about, respect, and appreciate the diversity of paths, and to look for the universal truth contained in each one. An Interfaith Minister is someone who is dedicated to serving the needs of all those who seek their guidance, counsel, and assistance, without regard to race, religion, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, ethnic background, gender or age.

The world is our home, and our brothers and sisters are all humankind no matter what their religious convictions might happen to be. As an Interfaith Minister, I choose to be inclusive rather than exclusive of all faith traditions.

Randy Taylor holds a lifetime ordination from American Marriage Ministries, a non-denominational, interfaith Church. Ordination permits their ministers to perform marriages. The church is a Federally Recognized 501(c)3 Public Charitable Organization as described by the IRS.
