Rev. Tony Ponticello has served as the Executive Minister of the Community Miracles Center (CMC) since he cofounded this spiritual center in 1987. He was legally ordained a minister originally in 1986 by our predecessor organization, the California Miracles Foundation, and has done pastoral counseling since that time. He was later re-ordained by CMC as its 20th minister in 1997. Rev. Tony duties are numerous:
• teaches many classes in A Course In Miracles,
• edits and writes for the CMC's publication Miracles Monthly,
• lectures regularly for the CMC's Sunday Service,
• is the web master for this web site,
• runs large international ACIM conferences,
• and many other related business functions.
As a counselor, Rev. Tony bring a wealth of life experience and especially expertise in open relationship. He approaches all this through the ACIM teaching lens of Special Relationships versus Holy Relationships. He also has extensive knowledge and decades long experience in the mental health and wellness fields. He approaches his counseling sessions with great empathy and humor. Counseling can be done in person (if local, in the San Francisco area) and by Zoom or phone (if not local). Rev. Tony works on a sliding fee schedule between $60 and $90 per session.
