Universal Life Church

At first it was for a joke - a friend of mine told me about the ULC and I did a search. I was ordained in October 2002 (about the same time I looked up the ULC through this site I believe - or the HQ site as I know I am on the ULC's official "roll call".) After a short time I came back to this site (June 2003) and joined the forum. I have since received the basic ministry package (before the CD-ROM was included). Last year I received a few books and the D.D. This year was more books.

I really like calling myself "Reverend" and have made up some business cards that have may "Reve." and "D.D." included - mainly to show off to people. I really don't use my Reverend too much though as the Government here is not really that big on the ULC or other "fringe" churches. However, if I am complaining about something, or do a "Letter to the Editor", I use my "Reverend" and "D.D."

At first, I never really thought of my credential as more than fun, but I am taking it more seriously now. I really enjoy being a Reverend.
