^Back in 1995, i thought about becoming a minister. Didn't know

  ministry?" So, I created an online mailing list for ministers of
  all faiths "
  * Working with people on a one-to-one basis
  * How to work with groups, either during service or out
  * Community involvement
  * Other forms of outreach including
  * creating and maintaining youth groups
  * attracting new members through advertising, word of mouth
  * working with other denominations and religions
  * helping members recognize their calling in life
  * helping those with a call to ministry in the right path
  * Working effectively with committees
  * How to keep the faith and maintain professional integrity

  on to the leader of a nature religion group (who I really should
  track down after 15 years!! She was cool people). i realized
  that there was less one-on-one than I thought and that no
  particular religion was "it" - until I looked in the Yellow
