Anita Hartmann
Ordained Minister in Westminster, Colorado
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My spiritual path has been the foundation of my life since early childhood. I was originally baptized and confirmed in the Episcopal church as a child. When I was older, my uncle, a Church of Christ minister, inspired me greatly with his loving and compassionate life of service and faith. Though I didn't need to, according to traditional Christian standards, I asked him to baptize me as an older and more informed life choice. Since then, I have had the desire and opportunity to study many paths of religion and spirituality, happily finding commonality among many of the great religions and spiritual paths. My primary path has been metaphysical as a member of Mile High Church of Religious Science since 1971. It is a church that honors all paths and recognizes that great teachers have come from many religions and philosophies. I recognize the spirit in each person and believe that we are all spiritual beings having a physical life experience. Because of this philosophy, it is my intention to treat each person with respect and dignity and offer love and guidance however is appropriate to each person.
Where are you from?
I have lived primarily in Colorado, since 1971. I am moving to Maine in March of 2026. I am excited to move to this beautiful state where the people are truly kind, genuine and friendly.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
In 2025, the age of 68, now a widow for two years, I find myself free to act on the principles that I have been committed to all of my life. I truly love to be of assistance to others, especially young people, animals and the earth. Over the decades I have worked with kids in a variety of capacities and feel called to continue offering kids guidance by teaching life skills they seldom, if ever, receive in school. I also hope to have a community center offering social gatherings for seniors and community members, shared work spaces for business people, educational opportunities and spiritual support for those who want it.
