The following statements serve to guide me as I work with others in a ministerial/spiritual capacity to help ensure that my actions in such a position of trust are ethical and respectful.

I shall make referrals or obtain consultations when it is in the best interests of those I serve and I shall maintain interdisciplinary and inter-professional relationships to foster these practices.

I shall discuss any costs associated with my services in an upfront manner with those I serve. However, I shall not withhold my ministerial and community services strictly because an individual or organization does not have the ability to pay or make donations.

I shall not enter into intimate or financial relations people that I have served through extended pastoral counseling, nor shall I enter into an extended counseling relationship with a person with whom I currently have intimate or financial relations.

I shall refrain from relating experiences that expose the vulnerabilities of the people I serve or their families to derision or ridicule.

I shall seek to guard the identities of those served in any consultations, presentations or publications unless the person served, or their family if the person cannot give consent, has given me written permission for disclosure of the relationship.

I shall respect the private communications of colleagues unless to do so would violate the safety and well being of others or be in conflict with the laws or policies of the state.

Connections and Growth
I shall accurately represent my professional qualifications and affiliations to those I serve and the greater community.

I shall maintain and nurture an active relationship and good standing within my local Pagan community.

I shall pursue ongoing personal growth and professional development in theology, spirituality, pastoral skills, and other areas that enhance my professional proficiency.

Blessings from a full heart.
