Columbia, S.C. - The Board of Directors of Cherry Hill Seminary has approved the naming of its online library, the Judy Harrow Library & Information Center. Harrow, recently retired as Chair of the Pastoral Care and Counseling Department, has served the Seminary as faculty since 2000, and for the past year as a board member. The first Wiccan to be legally registered as clergy in New York City in 1985, after a five-year effort requiring the assistance of New York Civil Liberties Union, Harrow has a long record of public service, including: ∙ Association for Humanistic Psychology and of the American Counseling Association; ∙ Association for Specialists in Group Work (ASGW) ∙ International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors (IAMFC); ∙ Clergy Leadership Council of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice; ∙ Book Review Board of the Family Journal, a publication of IAMFC; ∙ National Advisory Board of the Consultation on Multifaith Education; ∙ Steering committee of the Interfaith Council of Greater New York ∙ Former President of the New Jersey Association for Spiritual, Ethical and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC); A Wiccan priestess since 1977, Harrow founded Proteus Coven in 1981, and held several leadership offices for Covenant of the Goddess. She founded the Pagan Pastoral Counseling Network in 1982, and served as the first editor of the Network's publication. Harrow co-created a successful workshop series, which grew into a series of intensive workshops for Pagan elders on a range of topics. She also founded the New York Area Coven Leaders' Peer Support Group, and served as Program Coordinator for the first Mid-Atlantic Pan-Pagan Conference and Festival, as well as several other Pagan gatherings. "I'm surprised, thrilled, and honored by this recognition,” says Ms. Harrow. “I'm also excited by the continuing growth and development of Cherry Hill Seminary, which is a real sign of the maturation of contemporary Paganism. So much has changed for Pagans during the many years of my involvement. I am so proud to have been a small part of it." Currently, Cherry Hill Seminary is working towards future accreditation, in part because of Harrow’s work as a liaison to Pagans in the U.S. military, which requires its chaplains to hold a Master of Divinity degree from an accredited institution. Harrow is the author of the books, Wicca Covens (1999), Spiritual Mentoring, (2002), and edited and contributed to Devoted to You: Honoring Deity in Wiccan Practice, (2004); she has also contributed to many others .Her articles have been published in many journals, such as AHP Perspective (the newsletter of the Association for Humanistic Psychology), " Gnosis", and "PanGaia".
