Rev. J. Wright
Ordained Minister in Portland, Oregon
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My curiosity about religion started at a young age and the more I learned about the Bible the more curious I became about all religions. While in my lifelong quest for knowledge, unexpectedly, l had become the Matriarch of my family and while in this leadership role it triggered a calling at which I could not ignore. As a "do gooder" I needed a respectful accomplishment to expand my inner self and the path I found kept returning me to Religion and with great honors I took a step in my journey to a great personal enlightenment and so much goodness has come to my life now that I am an Ordained Minister. I am truly blessed to be a part of the Clergy and enjoy sharing my knowledge and making a positive influence in the lives of all of the good people who I have met. The very first thought after the passing of both my parents, was the day my life changed and spiritually guided me into this " Reverend " direction, giving me the ability to help others in ways I never thought possible.
Where are you from?
Born in Portland, Oregon and raised in the suburbs of Beaverton and the near city's just west of Portland. I am a true Oregonian. I have also lived in Bakersfield, California ( just north of LA ) for a few of my teenage years and as a young adult I lived on the family Property in (Fern Prairie) Camas, Washington, which is about 5 mountain tops north of the Columbia River that defines the boarder between Oregon and Washington.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
Expanding my horizon with knowledge and life fulfilment by volunteering, working and helping others and enjoying all of the time spent coordinating events, connecting with good people and even reaching out to people of whom I never would have been able meet and communicate to without my Ordination. This has opened doors for me in areas of my life that I never even knew existed and religion has given me the ability to be open minded to share and relate important life lessons, teachings and ceremonies to follow many different religious practices and personal spirituality that are designed and catered towards others views on how much or how little religion choices are involved in their life. I am open and willing to adjust and alter many aspects in ceremonies, respectfully, in order to make your experience as close to the normality of your religion as possible.
