TWO QUESTIONS

 

 

1.) Why would any non-Christian want to be a congregational member or ordained by the Universal Life Church?

 

For those of you beer drinkers out there, that is like settling for non-alcohol beer for the real thing. Or for those who love real cheese on their pizza, settling for imitation cheese.

 

The Universal Life Church name is very much Christian, it always has been it always will be. For those pagans, wiccans, buddhists, atheists, satanist, how do you expect anyone to take you serious when you belong to or are ordained by a Church that means "Christian or Catholic Life Church or Assembly?"

 

It certainly does not speak much of one's knowledge, intelligence or conviction to their non-Christian belief! Non-Christians with these other ULC's can hate me, despise me all they want, but the truth is, how silly do they look belonging to or being ordained by a Church with a name that means "Christian or Catholic Life Church or Assembly?"

 

Think about it, atheists, satanists, pagans ordained by a Church with a name that is synonymous with Christ!!!

 

 

 

#2.) Why would any Christian or non-Christian want to be a congregational member or ordained by the the non-Christian ULC's?

 

Here you have these other ULC's, claiming to be interfaith, they ordain all, including satanists, atheists & WHAT DOES THEIR NAME STAND FOR.

 

"Christian or Catholic Life Church or Assembly"

 

This does not bode well for the intelligence level of these leaders for these two Churches.

 

What do they do in a public bathroom, knock on the stall partition & ask their neighbor which way to wipe? I am sorry for being so bold, but it irks me to no end, two individuals attempting to pass themselves off as Church Leaders, how can they be so ignorant?

 

Innocent people are being victimized and led astray.

 

 

 

Purpose of Charter Churches or

Congregational Affiliation

 

 

With the Roman Catholic Church you have the Vatican in Vatican City, and you have Congregational Affiliate Churches located throughout the world. Many other sects within the Christian Faith have the same, but at a much smaller level, we are no exception.

 

You must understand the differences between other ULC's and us. Other ULC's are legal in the US with respect to their ordained ministers being able to officiate weddings. However as Chuches, they do not meet the criteria of what defines a Church. How can they? They have no real doctrine of faith and this is what creates problems outside of the USA for other ULC's or acceptance of its ministers within any respective faith.

 

With other ULC's their Ministers are only legal to serve as wedding ministers in the USA, outside of the USA, they hope they do not check, or that the respective country has no real law preventing anyone from serving as a wedding officiant.

 

Now if the other ULC's had a real Doctrine of Faith or was a faith based Church or Religious Organization like us, they would not have the issues they have outside the USA.

 

Our Universal Life Church is legal throughout the world, because we are faith based and we have a doctrine faith. It has nothing to do with registration or non registration, but rather everything to do with being faith based, with a well defined and legitimate doctrine.

 

In many countries, yes you are ordained by us, no different than how the Roman Catholic Church does it, but just like with Roman Catholic Ordination, the Minister or Priest may need to be affiliated with an actual Church within his or her country of residence. Obviously the Universal Life Church World Headquarters cannot be in every country, we are based in the USA like the Roman Catholic Church Headquarters is based in Rome, Italy.

 

So in some countries, to serve as a wedding officiant, you need to start your own Church with what is referred to as Congregational Affiliation with the Universal Life Church World Headquarters. We can do this globally because we are faith based, whereas again other ULC's cannot because they are not faith based and they do not have a doctrine of faith.

 

So if you are in Canada or the UK or lets say South Africa and etc., over and above your ordination you may need to have your own Church Charter with a Congregational Affiliation with the Universal Life Church World Headquarters.

 

We recommend to all Ministers, in the USA or outside thereof to have your own Charter Church. You are free to name it whatever you'd like and you will be completely legal as a Congregational Affiliate of the Universal Life Church World Headquarters, just the same as if you were a Roman Catholic Church in affiliation with the Vatican.

 

Charters are only $50 a year (Just Click Here to Get Your Own Charter/Congregational Affiliation). You will need to order a Pastor Title for $10 and if you have your own Charter Church, the Universal Life Church World Headquarters would be willing to consider you for appointment to Bishop. All Bishops assume a Leadership Role within the Church and are provided voting rights, similar to what Roman Catholics do with Cardinals.

 

 

 

Minister ID's/Name Badges

 

 

Again, I cannot emphasize the importance of this item. I know the other ULC's claim such identification is not necessary, this claim is based on the limitations of their ordinations. They are only speaking of requirements by local, county, state or country requirements that regulate wedding officiants, some require ID, some do not. However, Law Enforcement, County Jails, State and Federal Prisons, Hospitals, Nursing Homes and many others do require a Minister Picture ID or Name Badge. Captioned below is an email I received from one of our Ministers. Our Ministers who are out there actually working their ministry they know a Picture ID/Name Badge is very much required. This is a telltale sign of which Ministers are more than just a name on a certificate, those with Minister Picture ID's and Name Badges are really doing what they claim to be doing. The others are just talkers and Minister wannabees.

 

"Please use this any way you feel that may help other. I want to thank brother Michael for having the supplies I needed to run my church, I have gotten your picture ID badge and Degree from you that has been of great use to me. I have a person that went into the hospital and wanted me there with them. With out this badge I would of not been allowed in. But after I was there they asked for me in another area to help too. Thanks again for having these on hand for me.   ~ Rod Price, New Beginning Church"
