Interfaith Ministers Leah and Peter Findlay will guide you from the heart to create and perform a unique ceremony that reflects your thoughts, feelings and spiritual understandings in a joyful and creative way. Here are some extracts and testimonials from a baby naming, wedding and funeral service:

 
Extract from a Baby naming Ceremony performed under a blue sky in a back garden in Hebden Bridge:
The birth of a child is a true miracle and reminds us that the way of openness, joy and love is natural and organic to us all. Today we stand as witnesses to love, and witnesses to the miracle of life.
With joy in our hearts we name this child Elisia Shaw daughter of Bell and John Shaw and Grandson of Edwin and Ann Shaw and Peter and Mary Hall.
In the presence of love and of generations before you we welcome you Elisia Shaw into this family and into this world. We welcome all that you are and all that you will become.
 “A beautiful ceremony...everyone felt that the service was fun, light and at the same time moving...A day we will never forget.” Amanda and David 
 
Extract from a Wedding performed on a Beach in Cornwall:
Like the earth let your love be firm, grounded in your humanity. Like a star let your love be constant and imbued with light. As the moon guides the tides let the power of the mind and the intellect guide you in your marriage. Let the strength of your will bind you together and the power of your dedication, made here today, make you inseparable.
“Many people uncomfortable with church services said how moved they were by ours. We felt that together we were able to create something really unique and beautiful.” Marion and Richard
 
Extract from a Funeral performed at a Crematorium in Elland, Yorkshire:
Soon we will say farewell to Tom but our first task is to remember and celebrate the life of a kind and free-spirited man... whether that is as a child, brother, a good friend, a loved-one, or a parent; whether we knew him from peace marches and Greenpeace events; whether we knew him from the difficult chapters of his life living homeless on the streets of London or simply as a man who loved to sing songs from the Jungle Book to children… it is through our memories of Tom that we shall celebrate and bless his life.
“The service was more wonderful then anything I could have imagined” Deborah Rolland
