The Ordination of Rob Kinslow

Welcome

"Love yourself more than you do, love others as yourself, and in everything you do, let love grow."

When I wrote that benediction late one night in 2012 in my application to seminary, I assumed I would eventually replace it in a few years once I better understood my call to ministry.

Well, after two seminaries, years of field education and plenty of pulpit time, I still offer these words of benediction at the end of worship services. I’ve learned that come what may, there is no replacement for love.

In that spirit, I invite you to join me for my ordination, the culmination of many years of wondering, studying, pastoring and witnessing to the tremendous faith of the people I’ve served and who have nurtured me. Let’s gather to mark the passage of one person and celebrate the shared ministry of all.

What Is an Ordination?

A Service of Ordination centers around a spoken ritual in which the members of one or more congregations recognize a person as a minister called to serve and confer ministerial authority. In the Unitarian Universalist tradition, the ritual of ordination also allows the minister to use the title

of Reverend.
