It is inspiring to read this post from you Rev. Joe. What you say is very true and it was clear when my wife and I were trying to get married that this problem was the main thing that made finding a minister a problem. We are of Pagan faith and finding a minister to perform our marriage, especialy one legaly recognized by the state, was a problem. Many would refuse because we were not of the same faith as them, and it is painful. So while I have always felt a need to help others and a call as a priest, it was then that I knew what I had to to. It took me time to find the ULC and become ordained, but I am happy that I did. Now I can be legaly recognized with a little more work by Nevada to perform marriages for people of all faiths. My goal is to provide spiritual council and services to anyone who needs them. I love learning more about other faiths, especialy since I was raised as a Roman Catholic and have seen the prejiduce some people can hold. Someday I hope that I might be able to establish a church/temple for the same reason as yourself, so that all may feel welcome and safe. May you find a course that will lead you to such success and happiness. -Rev. Alan
