^Back in 1995, i thought about becoming a minister. Didn't know
   what religion really, but I felt a calling. Went from church to
   church, talked to two dozen different
   ministers/pastors/rabbis/priests/religious leaders and still

   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

   that there was less one-on-one than I thought and that no
   particular religion was "it" - until I looked in the Yellow
