Interfaith Ceremonies

Weddings are an opportunity to bring something of your cultures, your families and your ancestors to celebrate your commitment to each other.

You may not identify with the particular religion or faith tradition of your family or childhood, but may still want to incorporate elements of these into your ceremony.

I am an Ordained Interfaith Minister with a Masters of Theology. This means I can work with you to incorporate elements of any faith or cultural tradition.

Perhaps you were raised in a Christian tradition but now identify more with Buddhist precepts. Maybe you come from a Hindu background whilst the others’ family is Muslim.

I can incorporate elements of any tradition into your ceremony. I will do this in a meaningful way which is authentic to you and respectful to the traditions we draw upon. I can draw on any and all traditions, including Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Wicca, Zoroastrian, Jain, Taoist, Confucian, Shamanic and Jewish traditions.

Intercultural Ceremonies

Throughout human history, people have come together to declare their commitment to each other. Surrounded by their community, people have celebrated and announced their love for thousands of years.

At your wedding, I can work with you to incorporate cultural elements which can add depth and flavour to your ceremony.

We can include traditions from around the world in ways which are meaningful and true to you and respectful of culture. Examples include:

• Celtic traditions of Britain, such as handfasting and jumping the broom
• Chinese traditions, such as the tea ceremony
• Indigenous traditions, such as the smoking ceremony and acknowledgement of Country
• Germanic traditions, such as the sawing of wood
• Ethiopian traditions, such as bowing to elders
