OIIM Registration Board and Booklet
The OIIM Registration Board was instituted by OIIM’s Board of Directors in 2007 to assist in giving credibility to the helping professions that fall within the Interfaith Ministry Professions and Spiritual Arts Practices. Graduates of the iNtuitive Times Institute (NTI), OIIM’s seminary program, are automatically accepted as registrants. Others can apply to the OIIM Registration Board for equivalency evaluation. OIIM is recognized as a religion in Canada and in the province of Prince Edward Island. Registration and de-registration of OIIM Lay and Ordained Ministers and Spiritual Arts Practitioners and Apprentices is the responsibility of the OIIM Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of OIIM have reluctance in being ‘legislative’ in approach about a sacred ministry of love. However, in an effort to assist in elevating the spiritual and healing arts to a state of credibility within the helping professions, we need to follow an acceptable course of regulating our apprentices, practitioners and ministers. This is a responsibility we have taken quite seriously.
Our goal is to provide you, the general public, as well as OIIM members, congregants and adherents, with a quality professional service that you can trust. This document is just a start in providing that professional and sacred context. This first edition published in September 2012 is the first of many to come in future years. We welcome your feedback as to its helpfulness, non-helpfulness, what you like about it and what we can do to improve it. Give your comments in person to your apprentice, practitioner or minister, and/or send your comments to [email protected], or mail to OIIM Registration Board, 32 Greenwood Drive, Charlottetown, PE C1C 1J3 Canada. The most up-to-date version will be the on-line version posted at www.InterfaithConnextions.org.
In preparation of this manual we have researched the current standards of practice and codes of ethics for the following associations:
A Tool:
The OIIM Registration Board has produced this publication, the OIIM Registration Booklet, which lists each of the OIIM-sanctioned Interfaith Ministry Professions and Spiritual Arts Practices, their scope of practice, training and recommended fair fees, and a list of OIIM Registrants as of September 2012, as a tool for the public to use in their search and discernment of Interfaith Ministry Professionals and Spiritual Arts Practitioners and Apprentices.
In today’s world with the ‘faddism’ associated with ‘holistic health’ and ‘New Age’ services and a plethora of certificate programs, it can be difficult for the discerning public to determine who has extensive and grounded training and experience and who does not. Our goal is to simplify that by offering a professional home for credible Interfaith Ministry Professionals and Spiritual Arts Practitioners.
This is not the only tool available to the public, but it is one.
