mark 45 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 i wasn't aware that ulc ministers in canada were allowed to perform any legal marrige ceremonies.if you mean other services,such as baptism,funerals and non legal marrige ceremonies,yes you can.i would check with your provencial government about that,but that is what i'm given to understand.

Rev Ed Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I concur - anything but marriage would be legal in Ontario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Scott Luxon Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 ah... okay, thanks guys.I know a few ministers and pastors and such maybe I can ask them.So, anything that doesn't take a certificate should be legal then.yeah, due to the monarchy it is a little stricter up here I might have to go to a denominational bible college if someone wanted me to do a legal ceremony.I'm kind of torn, really love what the Universal Life Church stands forcross that bridge when we get to it i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator mdtaylor Posted September 15, 2009 Administrator Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 As found in the Frequently Asked Question, Countries Other Than US, Canada.....You might consider applying to be a Marriage Commissioner. There is no special requirements other than a need for another marriage commissioner in the local area. You can then do the legal ceremony as a marriage commissioner simultaneous with the religious ceremony. No one will know the difference except maybe the couple. And maybe not them...There is also some information specific to some provinces but the accuracy of each is only as good as the last individual that advised us of inaccuracies. But it will point you to some places to make inquiries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
