"Reverend Barnes encompasses spiritual guidance and leadership that is unparalleled. As an interfaith couple, my husband and I struggled with how best to proceed with our wedding ceremony. It was important to us that both religions be represented and respected. Reverend Barnes took the time to understand my husband and I as a couple, and he consoled us by focusing on the similarities of our religions versus the differences. Consequently, with the direction of Reverend Barnes, our wedding ceremony was a thoughtful and unique display of who my husband and I are as people, our love for one another and our families and our respect for the Jewish and Christian faiths. We will always remember fondly when Reverend Barnes asked each of our families to announce to the world their commitment and acceptance of our union. We continue to receive touching compliments from family and friends."
