Philip Tuley

Imam Philip Tuley has been performing weddings & Nikahs for over 35 years & functions as one of our traveling officiants. Originally ordained in the Church of Amron, San Francisco, in 1984, he officiated numerous weddings, often involving interfaith couples, interracial couples & informally at first, then legally binding, LGBTQ+ couples. His own marriage is interfaith – his wife Lea is a devout Christian & their daughters are agnostic.

Philip feels it is a blessing to join two souls in marriage, as the unity of the couple into a single unit draws the couple closer in spirit to the singularity of the All-Loving, Allah (SWT). Philip has a diverse background in theology & spirituality. Born in Phoenix, Arizona, his studies have taken him across the United States, into Southeast Asia, & Europe. He converted to Islam in 1989, after a long period of spiritual search. He brings a distinctive Sufi approach to his officiating & to his activities within MPV & his local mosque. He brings this broad exposure to every spiritual endeavor he undertakes. His goal is to share the love & the oneness of The Beloved with all whom he encounters. Imam Phillip is available for weddings in the San Francisco area & is willing to travel when his schedule permits.
