  1. My journey to ordination has been a long one. Ever since I was a little girl I have searched for a religion that fit for me. I have attended services for several Christian faiths, studied Wiccan beliefs, Hinduism, Buddism, etc. But nothing ever really fit for me because it always seemed there was this separatism built-in to every religion. I just could not find a faith that seemed to support my beliefs of universal acceptance and that everyone was on the "right" path as long as they were doing what was right for their own souls while refraining from oppressing others. Then just a few days ago I somehow stumbled across ULC. The Universalist faith was something I had never heard of and I have been insatisable in my quest to learn about its beginning and beliefs and if this was the religion that I was looking for. Turns out it was. So I decided to become ordained. My ordination gives me the courage to find others who were languishing in religions that do not fit and will not accept their beliefs that everyone is moving in the same direction just using different means to get there. I am hoping to see a spread of Universalism to what it once was as recently as the early 20th century. Although I do not intend to start a congregation, I do intend to be open to dialogue and plan to always wear something that states I am a Minister with ULC. I think I will be opening myself up to negativity and rejection but it will be worth it if I can help someone find the light they are looking for. Further, I am going to be starting a foundation to combat social issues in my city - particularly that of homelessness. I plan to be contacting the other ULC ministers in my area to see what type of support and involvement they are interested in giving for in this project. If you are reading this, I ask that you say a prayer, light a candle, or otherwise wish this endeavor well because it will not only help those in my community who need others but it will also help to spread the word of peace, acceptance, and hope that I feel the Universalist Church stands for.
