Ray Bergen is an Interfaith Minister

Marriage is an invitation to transcend the human condition. For in stepping beyond the self-focus of wanting to have only our own needs met, in schooling ourselves in the experience of putting another human being and his or her needs in a position of equal value to our own, we touch the web of transcendence, the presence of the divine.

 

For loving one another is the beginning of compassion, and compassion generalized is participating in the divine, that experience of life and the world that paradoxically submerges us in all that exists, while at the same time elevating us above it. The compassionate, soul-changing loving of a single other human being connects us most profoundly to the ALL. And it is in the practice of this radiant other-discovering love that true marriage calls forth the best of us, the most we can ever become.

As the officiator of your wedding ceremony I will join with you to design an imaginative event that reflects your unique vision for this special celebration. I will be involved from beginning to end in creating a ritual that represents your spiritual preferences so that this ceremony becomes the cornerstone of your wedding day.
