Joining with People Around the World in Awakening to Love

by Rev. Cheryl Ford

Pathways of Light Spiritual College has long been ‘dedicated to joining with people around the world in awakening to the Love and Peace of God within us all.’ In harmony with this philosophy, several ministers have been inspired to carry out that mission by launching a Pathways of Light branch in the United Kingdom (UK).

Directed by Holy Spirit and working closely with the main campus in Kiel, steps are unfolding to bring the loving message of A Course in Miracles (ACIM) through the Pathways of Light courses to a whole new group of students throughout the UK and Europe. So far, the results have been a remarkable meeting of the minds and a wonderful collaboration of ministers, ACIM group leaders, students and friends.

Launching a new branch has been an unexpected and exciting venture; one that’s time has definitely come! Each day Spirit is encouraging more and more activity to create just the right opportunities at just the right time to bring the course lessons that focus on deepening our connection with Inner Wisdom to ever increasing groups of people.

The journey began with a literal journey of a newly ordained Pathways of Light minister who relocated to the UK with her family in sincerity of following Spirit’s guidance. Shortly after arriving, she noticed that she was the only Pathways of Light minister in the UK, and one of just a couple of others scattered throughout Europe.

Initially, she started building her ministry and made contacts with local study and networking groups. But because of unexpected hardships, including losing a box filled with all of her training materials in the mail, it seemed next to impossible to get things off the ground. Of course with God, all things ort of Robert and Mary at Pathways, the materials were generously replaced and she was soon assigned her first student!

In the beginning stages of the new student’s sessions, it was made clear that he was not particularly interested in facilitating or necessarily establishing his own ministry. Still, it was evident that this was no ordinary relationship, and it wasn’t long before Spirit inspired them to combine forces along with Robert and Mary in Kiel to bring the beautiful Pathways of Light courses to the UK!

Although most ministers do create their own ministries, it was decided that a branch would be the most effective way to maintain the integrity of the course materials and the objectives of Pathways of Light. Of course a lot of planning under Spirit’s guidance is needed in terms of establishing local marketing, contacts, production and distribution, but these all seem to be unfolding with synchronistic precision.

In addition, each minister brings their own gifts that make valuable contributions. From those who have actually written the materials, to those who help develop the web site, each person is fulfilling their function as a messenger of God by serving as the ‘feet, eyes, ears and hands of Holy Spirit’ to bring these important and helpful lessons to all.

In the meantime, there is a POL-UK web page at http://www.pathwaysoflight.org.uk and a winter/spring calendar of group courses will be offered in north London beginning in late November. There is also a quarter page ad currently running in the ‘Miracle Worker’ magazine, a UK based publication and much interest is being generated.

Soon they hope to publish course materials in the UK to reduce shipping costs and localize the course catalogue to reflect British Pounds instead of US Dollars.

As the branch development moves forward, it is the goal to form a core membership of POL ministers based in the UK dedicated to facilitating new students, leading group course sessions and supporting the day-to-day tasks of operating a spiritual college.

In this great time of awakening Holy Spirit will provide all those who hear the Call and respond with wonderful opportunities to serve His purpose if only we will let Him. Pathways of Light is one such way… But whatever way we choose, one thing is certain: we all go home together.
