“Last week the Board of Directors voted to receive three outstanding new board members, Tony Mierzwicki, Jason Pitzl-Waters, and Diane Edgecomb, who has been elected Treasurer. We are honored that they have agreed to serve with us, as each of them brings a distinguished background to their Cherry Hill service … All of these individuals bring rich and broad experience -life, professional and Pagan – with them as they enter the sacred trust of volunteer leadership for Cherry Hill.”

I’m honored to join the governing body of this institution. I look forward to using my talents during my three-year term to assist them as they work towards gaining degree-granting authority from the State of South Carolina, and ultimately, accreditation. I believe that Cherry Hill’s goal of raising the bar for the education of Pagan ministry reflects the same ethic that urged me to improve the standards of journalism by and about modern Pagans.

Cherry Hill Seminary is currently in the midst of their 2008 Annual Appeal. The money raised will allow them to maintain their standard of excellence, pay for much-needed supplies, and work towards long-term goals. I urge my readers who are interested in Cherry Hill’s mission to read this page about why you should consider giving. To pay online, or set up a recurring monthly donation, head to this page. All donations are tax-deductible (and tell them The Wild Hunt sent you).

For those of my readers not particularly interested in such things, not to worry, The Wild Hunt will not become a press organ for the seminary. In addition, all future stories that directly involve Cherry Hill Seminary will carry a disclaimer making plain my involvement with the organization.

Drew’s plans to “sacrifice” the Frosts in effigy at his International Real Witches Ball, I have enabled moderation on all comments for this blog. This isn’t an action I wanted to take, but I felt things had gotten out of hand, and Haloscan’s tools are somewhat limited in what they allow me to do.

This is a global change, so please don’t re-submit comments if you don’t see your message right away, as I probably haven’t gotten around to approving it yet. I hope that after things cool off a bit, I will remove moderation and we can go back to normal. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
