Hello Everyone! I joined the Monastery back in 2013. I was happy, but it always felt as something was "missing". Then about a month ago, I was surfing different movies and shows on utube for a research article I was working on. I came to several video lectures presented by Rev. Amy. All I can day was WOW!! She opened my eyes! I had no idea that my membership with the monastery meant nothing. I called the real Universal Life Church the next day. With the help of their staff I, I became a very thrilled and happy member of the real ULC!! I can now earn some real college degrees! I also joined the ULC Seminary! I even submitted some of my own research articles and I hope they will be made available to all ULC members soon! I highly recommend that if anyone has joined the "Monastery", a please check your license, and join the ULC. That Rev. Amy lectures about on utube. You will never regret it. Now I'm a happy and PROUD member of the Universal Life Church!! Have a blessed day! John Smithkey III RN BSN
