As the Associate Director of The New Seminary for Interfaith Studies, Dr. Samora has been supporting students and fellow ministers in fostering peace and building stronger communities. TNS was founded in 1979 by Rabbi Joseph H Gelberman and Swami Satchidananda and other spiritual luminaries, who held the vision that "we are all One" and that we can find compassion through building bridges instead of division. TNS offers a variety of programs such as two-year interfaith minister ordination (one-year accelerated for those who qualify), interfaith community chaplaincy (CPE), spiritual coaching certification, and advanced Master's and Doctoral Degrees in Ministry, Theology, and Divinity. We offer a Virtual Open House on the first Wednesday of the month at 8:00 PM through The Interfaith Temple , the ordaining body of the seminary. Please join us on June 4th, 2025 for our next session to learn how you can expand ways to be of service to the global community during uncertain times. This is not a religioius program. We teach the "ministry of presence". Here is the link to sign up.
