Jos Tharakan
I have been ordained for 28 years. Being involved in churches with thousands of members attending on a Sunday to small congregations of as many as 6, I have experience dealing with different pastoral and spiritual issues of various ethnic and racial groups. I have had the privilege of serving culturally different communities from predominantly white English speakers to Spanish-speaking, Laotian, Koran, Hindi, and Malayalam-speaking groups. With 8 Units of Clinical Pastoral Education, I am also able to understand and support the intricate and complicated human experience of God. These experiences and education I have had could serve anyone entering into ordained life to expand their focus and ministry.
