Rev. Kristan Davis Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have recently been ordained but how can I find out if it's legal or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Kelly Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 ULC ordinations are accepted by most states. Check out the legal forum to see what your state requires from you before doing something like performing a marriage. And of course you can post here where you live and someone will come along and help you out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aina Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Best way to find all necessary details is to call your local county clerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark 45 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 correction,our ordainment is recognized by all 50 states.however our right to conduct a legal marrige ceremony is not.most county clerks if you talk to them will tell you that,even when you are leagel in your state.read the pinned section at the top,or better,use that as a start to look at your states laws yourself.

Fr_Chuck Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Legal, legal for what ? you can preach, you can do funerals, baptise people , start a worship service and everything a preacher does everywhere except for weddings. Weddings is a government license that they control. And what church can or can't do weddings is a government issue, in the US a state issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClericThomas Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Congradualtions! As for legal you are ordained as a minister so generally anything a minister can do you can do if no license is required. That means generally counseling and performing marriages. All the other authority and common practice is custom and privileges afforded to ministers. Even if your title is Prophet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
