Minister-ette SSSF?

Email correspondent discovers a strange new world.

He happens to come across an Order of Worship for an upcoming wedding.

...the "officiant" was a woman. With two titles: "Rev." and "Dr." Ok... Nothing unusual there,

...Rev. Dr. Linda Barkwill is ordained as an Interfaith Minister and is also affiliated with the School Sisters of St. Francis, a Catholic religious order of sisters based in Milwaukee

"Affiliated"?

OK. Let's go to the website:

"She was also accepted into an Affiliate Relationship with the School Sisters of St. Francis, a Catholic religious order of nuns based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Sisters have provided Linda with the loving values-based community she has been seeking since her childhood and she is very grateful."

That explains it perfectly. Right?
