“The one who attempts to heal themselves or another through a recognition of the creative power of Mind and the ever availability of Good, is a mental or spiritual practitioner. The professional mental and spiritual practitioner is one who has dedicated their life – their time, their energies, their intelligence – to helping others, through mental and spiritual means and methods.” Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind, page 167
How does one become a Practitioner?
A licensed practitioner through United Centers for Spiritual Living must complete a multi-year required course of study, pass a comprehensive written exam and be approved by an oral panel consisting of ministers and experienced practitioners. The practitioner’s license is renewed every two years after meeting service requirements, continuing education requirements and with the recommendation of the minister.
