Interfaith Seminary

Training Ministers and Spiritual Counsellors

The Interfaith Seminary is a ground-breaking study programme for spiritually committed people who feel called to broaden their spirituality and their appreciation of other traditions, and to open to a life of service. Located within the Interfaith Foundation, the Interfaith Seminary trains open-hearted men and women in an inclusive global spirituality, to serve people from all faiths or none.

This experiential programme is designed to deepen each person's awakening process as the basis for effective service. It provides a powerful and supportive structure in which to:

  • Study aspects of the world's major faiths and mystical traditions
  • Create and present rituals and ceremonies
  • Explore and practise Spiritual Counselling
  • Substantially deepen your personal spiritual life and practice
  • Refine your capacity to be a loving presence in the world

We welcome everyone who feels called to deepen their understanding and awareness of true Self and Spirit. We are committed to sharing our journey of exploration into what it means to be human, and how to serve Life, God, the Source of All, in myriad ways, both secular and sacred.  In keeping with our Code of Ethics, we keep our hearts and minds open to everyone, celebrating difference but not separation. We refuse to marginalise people on the basis of age, disability, state of health, race, gender, nationality, religion, sexuality, economic status or any other distinction.

"This course fulfills my curiousity about traditions, religion, people and spirituality whilst developing my own spiritual growth in an environment of unconditional love. The training so far has been beyond what I could have expected. I have met the most amazing people, students, teachers and guest speakers."
Sharon Austin, Student, Manchester Training Programme

We warmly invite you to consider whether this spiritual training might be part of your own path into an ever-deepening experience of love, awakening and service.  We hold a series of Introductory Days where you can meet tutors, ministers and other students, and you can read more about our enrollment process.
