Craig Buchanan
Ordained Minister in Stillwater, Oklahoma
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I obtained an online ordination so that I could continue to perform baptisms, weddings, and funerals for those in my community.
Where are you from?
I was born in Texas but have lived in Oklahoma for about 50 years.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to provide services to those who have been excluded from mainstream religious institutions.
Religious Affiliations
Christianity, Druidism, Evangelicalism, Universal Life Church, Wicca
Additional Information
I was a pastor/leader in a very large Evangelical church. I have moved on to explore my religious beliefs further. I currently follow more of a Celtic Christian / Pagan belief system. While I no longer preach or lead a group of ministers, I still consider myself a minister and want to offer ceremonial services to those who have felt left out of the mainstream religious community. I have seen firsthand the hurt that has been inflicted by those who don't fit into the expected gender roles or who express their love to what some consider the wrong person or people.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Stillwater, OK wedding officiant?
I try to work with those who are being wed to make the experience as tailored to their dreams as possible.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I have great familiarity with the Stillwater, Tulsa, and Oklahoma City metropolitan areas.
