I became officially ordained today! I have been studying religion and spirituality seriously for several years, and have a community of many people which I have already been ministering to, even prior to being ordained. This just makes it "official enough" to argue the point with any level of government, (only if necessary), that I am indeed ordained and that they have no business, whatsoever, of interfering with anyones' religious beliefs. I chose ULC because it is non-denominational, the stated principles and tenets are agreeable, and does not require strict adherence to heavily-disputable doctrine as does the "traditional" state-sponsored religious denominations. Please call me Jan or Priestess or Reverend Jan, (or just sister if we become close).
