The Seminary's Beliefs
As an Interfaith Organization, MSA contends that all belief systems, exempting harmful contemplations, contribute to the overall understanding of humanity and to a common bond of unity. It is also MSA's belief that ordination comes from God and as such, we are all Ministers of God.
The seminary believes in the true unity of all humankind. While we are all different in color, culture and creed, we honor the diversity of each individual. The creation by Spirit of each individual as unique, yet equal, cannot condone exclusivity. Therefore, the desire and right of an individual to minister to humankind, by way of ordination, cannot be refused by our seminary.
Our Creed
Only God can ordain and we
are therefore all Ministers/Teachers of God
We are all made in the image and likeness of the Ultimate Source.
