Daniel Chapin, the former Vice President of "The Monastery" who quit as Vice President in January of 2010, is the man who recommended me, based on my many years of experience that I takeover for him as moderator of the Minister's Network for the ULC Monastery. Daniel Chapin is a friend, a colleague and has been a highly respected individual by many over seventeen years of service that he has provided to the Universal Life Church. Daniel and I have remained in contact.
As leader of the Universal Life Church the injustice and the fallicious nature of the ULC Monastery Storehouse website at http://www.universal-life-church.com will be set straight. First things first, the truth regarding Daniel Chapin. The ULC Monastery can't get their story straight. On this website published by George Freeman and The Monastery, they state:
The Beginning
Michael J. Cauley and Daniel Chapin were two moderators for the ULC Ministers Network. After the receipt of numerous complaints about Chapin accepting monies for services not rendered, Chapin was terminated and Cauley started full time moderating.George Freeman, a.k.a. Brother Martin clearly states on this website, Chapin was terminated. Anyone on the Minister's Network in December of 2009 or January of 2010 knows this simply put is not true. It is a lie and it is a fabrication. Daniel Chapin announced to all in December he was leaving and even published a Farewell Blog. George Freeman and The Monastery even published this article via their blog concernng Brother Daniel captioned below.

Farewell Br. Daniel Brooks Chapin, Vice-President of Universal Life Church Monastery, and Welcome Br. Bruce Taylor
//]] // --> 
Few individuals have shown as much hard work, expertise, and dedication to bringing happiness and opportunity to their fellow human being as Br. Daniel Brooks Chapin. Not only has Br. Chapin proved his selfless devotion to others by providing services to those suffering from mental trauma, but he has also participated in the advancement of social justice causes. Using his pastoral training background, he has applied the principles of civil justice in his role as officiant at many non-denominational wedding ceremonies and has continued these laudable efforts here at Universal Life Church Monastery. It is with great compassion and gratitude, therefore, that we watch him leave his post as Vice-President at the Church to grieve the recent passing of his mother, and to return home to care for his ailing father.
Throughout his career, Br. Chapin has successfully combined his natural altruism with real-life experience as well as rigorous training in various fields in order to better effect social change. Demonstrating his concern for the mental well-being of others, he attended the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress as well as the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, where he became board certified in acute traumatic and critical incident stress management, the knowledge of which he applied as Rehabilitation Specialist at the Mental Health Association of Orange County. Moreover, his past role as President at non-profit organizations such as the Coalition for the Advancement of Civil Justice illustrates his commitment to equality, fairness, and progress.
Br. Chapin’s work in ministry and wedding officiation reflects a similar set of ideals along with the talent needed to put them to use. An ordained minister, his studies in sociology and theology at Loyola Marymount University and his degree in Christian chaplaincy from UCMI Pastoral Training Institute have provided him with the necessary training for the co-ordination and performance of wedding ceremonies at Always and Forever – Southern California Weddings, where he currently serves as Administrator and Primary Officiant. Br. Chapin’s ministry has extended beyond the co-ordination of weddings, however, and, as a certified pastoral counselor, TIPS-certified specialist in drug and alcohol abuse prevention, and a certified teenager/child grief counselor, he has sought to ensure the health and happiness of the couples he marries as well as their families.
All of his valuable skills and life experience Br. Chapin has brought with him to his vice-presidency at Universal Life Church Monastery, which has undoubtedly grown and flourished as a consequence. He himself has eloquently expressed the high purpose and the profound impact of progressive ministerial work at the Church on the Universal Life Church Monastery blog, and what a selflessly rewarding privilege it is for the ordained minister. It is only appropriate to mention how instrumental his managerial role has been in the continuing success of the Church, and how greatly he will be missed. We send Br. Chapin our sympathy over the loss of his mother, and we wish his father an imminent recovery.
