Clergy Program
Introduction to the Clergy Program
For additional information about the training program and Troth clergy, contact Clergy Coordinator Diana L. Paxson at [email protected]
Stated Purposes:
The Troth’s Clergy Program will:
Provide training in knowledge and skills needed by those serving as clergy in heathen traditions in general and in the Troth in particular.
Evaluate and certify those who have demonstrated that they have the qualifications and have fulfilled the requirements for service as Troth godwo/men and elders.
Maintain a registry of clergy accredited by the Troth.
Maintain an e-list for Troth clergy and trainees for continuing education and mutual support.
Provide information and referrals to Troth members and others seeking the services of heathen clergy.
In Reach Heathen Prison Services
The mission of In-Reach is to provide Heathen religious information and materials and, when possible, visitation to inmates at correctional facilities, transition houses, and halfway houses throughout the United States. This is a Troth-driven effort to interact with facility administrators and inmates directly, and, when possible and feasible, to lead Heathen discussion groups or ceremonies.
Troth Steward Program
Stewards are volunteers who work to build community for heathens everywhere in conjunction with the Troth. They start by providing a presence and giving information to individuals who are interested in The Troth or in heathenry generally. They may also help heathens find each other, start kindreds if they wish, and create opportunities for local kindreds to get together with each other or organize regional meetings. The work of the Steward in this web is bringing together threads of individuals and kindreds. They are familiar with the Troth members and kindreds in his or her area, and know the other heathen organizations that are willing to work with the Troth. They usually have strong ties to the broader heathen community local to the Steward's territory.
Stewards can be Regional, and work within a state, part of a state, or in several states. A steward can also work in a special interest area, such as with the military or with incarcerated heathens.
International Relations and Exchange Program (IREP)
The Troth's International Relations and Exchange Program (IREP) was formed to:
*Facilitate and participate in international discussion, collaboration, and frith-building among inclusive Heathen groups around the world.
* Support Troth members in and outside the US.
* Engage in interfaith dialogue and promote interreligious harmony.
* Promote and support inclusive Heathenry internationally.
To accomplish these efforts we have:
Co-hosted Frith Forge, an international frith building conference, among inclusive Asatru/Heathen organizations and individuals.
We also co-sponsor a booth at The Parliament of World’s Religions in collaboration with Alliance for Inclusive Heathenry. We had strong representation at the 2018 Parliament in Toronto Canada.
If interested in volunteering for IREP or participating in this program in another way, please contact Amanda Leigh-Hawkins, Program Coordinator, at [email protected]
Red Hammer Disaster Relief
Red Hammer is a nonprofit committee that is part of The Troth (a worldwide organization), that provides disaster relief and humanitarian aid to people who have been devastated by natural disasters and other tragedies. Help comes in the forms of monetary assistance, clothing, food, as well as spiritual needs.
