So, you want to do some weddings- and have it be legal. Well, here's the quick and easy solution- the Universal Life Church! Yes, this is LEGAL, and yes, you ARE an ordained minister, with all the rights and priviliges this confers.


Some quotes from The Universal Life Church:

"The church was founded in the late '50's, we gave our first credential about 1962, since then we have grown to be the largest church of ordained ministers in the world. Our maxim 'WE ARE ONE' has encompassed the people all over the world. In our efforts to bring people together we have helped start many churches and organizations from one coast to the other. We promote no one religion. Our goal is to break down the walls around all religions. One way of accomplishing this is to educate the people. When you begin to learn about the various religions you will begin to see the similarities. Every religion is not complete within iteslf, each religion in history has drawn on others for material. Here it is possible to draw on each religion, thereby learning that we are one people, and truely that we have one religion."

"OUR BELIEF: THAT WHICH IS RIGHT
OUR OBJECTIVE: ETERNAL PROGRESSION
OUR GOAL: A FULLER LIFE FOR EVERYONE
OUR SLOGAN:TO LIVE AND HELP LIVE"

"The Universal Life Church has no traditional doctrine. We as an organization believe in That which is Right. Each indivigual has the privilige and responsibility to determine what is right for him- as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. We do not stand between you and your God. We are active advocates of the First Amendment of the constitution of The United States of America."

"WE ARE ADVOCATES OF THE GOOD LIFE"

"We want - to be competent, to be proficent, to be cooperative, to love our fellow man, to appreciate, to be humble, to be honest, to be moral, to live positively, to be what we profess."

REMEMBER:The single most important act you may perform to continue the ministry and functioning of the Universal Life Church is to ORDAIN NEW MEMBERS.

Now, I know they do this for free, but we all know it costs HQ money to do this, so if you possibly can, be cool and toss in a few dollars donation. I know that sometimes you can get into a jam where EVERY dollar counts, and they REALLY WILL send it to you if you cannot afford to make a donation- and that is EXACTLY what it is, a DONATION, NOT a FEE. But if you possibly can, PLEASE include a donation with this request.

If you send a check, make it payable to "UNIVERSAL LIFE CHURCH" and on the back mark it "FOR DEPOSIT ONLY" where they should sign it. This protects the church against theft.
