Intention and Mission of the Seminary: "This program is designed to initiate a shift in your consciousness that is so profound and significant, that you become a living, breathing prayer of peace. In other words, peace occurs naturally wherever you go, simply because the presence of peace is so strong within you. You become an example of the "Reality of Peace" that is all around us every moment. To some this may seem like a miracle, but it is really just the result of transforming one's consciousness and giving it over to God as an 'Instrument of Peace.' The goal of the Seminary of Spiritual Peacemaking is to train dedicated people to serve the world as Peace Ministers who are a part of the front line in a profound movement toward lasting peace. We believe that peace is an 'inside-out job,' and so our primary focus is to create lasting peace in our own lives, knowing that the natural result will be peace in the world."
~ Written by Nikita Gearing 2007. Source: http://www.belovedworld.org/whoweare_sosp.html "Thousands of people in the world today are asking the same question: 'How may I best serve humanity at this time of awakening?' Much of my own journey has been focused on showing that each of us has an important role to play, and I have tried to touch as many lives as possible with this message. But I also felt a deep longing to go much deeper with a smaller group, offering the inner teachings of the Emissaries and of becoming a Spiritual Peacemaker in the world. That is the reason the Beloved Community has established the Seminary of Spiritual Peacemaking".
~ James Twyman, Founder of the Seminary of Spiritual Peacemaking, 2004
The seminary program is conducted in many ways: streaming the courses over the Internet, through contact with a seminary facilitator, participation in Sacred Circle groups/calls, and through retreats held in various locations.
We believe that this program will make a vital contribution to the world and help bring about the Peaceful Kingdom we have all envisioned. This is such an important time for humanity, and it is from this that we have created this program.
Each one of us is a microcosmic manifestation of the whole universe, and we can all feel inner shifts taking place that reflect larger shifts in the world. We long for meaningful connection with each other, for solutions that transcend the traditional definitions of the world we live in, and to be part of a spiritually based community that is actively participating in these solutions. We need a new way of looking at peace, and of responding to the complex situations humanity finds itself in during this critical time. Creating peace in the world requires people who are committed to the foundation of inner peace, for peace is a choice each one of us makes long before it is perceived by countries and governments. It is time for prepared "Spiritual Peacemakers" to emerge, to shift the very foundation of the world's consciousness. When this happens, then peace on earth will occur on its own, simply because a real solution has finally been achieved.
You have been called to be a Spiritual Peacemaker in the world. Will you step forward now and claim your place beside all the others who chose this station before they were born?
James has had the chance to travel the world sharing this vision with thousands of people, and has done his best to present the lessons he has learned through his books, workshops and Internet courses. And yet he always knew the time would come to move much deeper with a select group of Peacemakers willing to dedicate their lives to this ideal. That's why we have created the Seminary of Spiritual Peacemaking. It's time to take this light and share it with the whole world, and in doing so, to assist in the inevitable movement toward a world based upon the laws of compassion and love.
We hope you share this conviction, and that you feel the Spirit of Truth guiding you into our family. Together we can do so much.
Since we are registered as a church organization, we are able to create a program that meets with the spiritual goals of the Beloved Community. Therefore, we have established the Seminary of Spiritual Peacemaking to assist others in fulfilling the unique missions given them by the Source of all our lives. After successful completion of the Seminary program you will be eligible for ordination as a Spiritual Minister of Peace.
(Please note, this is a U.S.A. based program, and as such may only be recognized within the United States. Should you reside outside the U.S.A. you will need to check with your local government for requirements.)
