All religious groups and faiths are welcome at the Universal Life Church, and despite Conan O’Brien making fun of the church’s philosophy, it does allow for the ordination of spiritual leaders to take place without the typical associated struggle or conflict caused by a difference of opinion.
Other religious sects and groups have suffered and seen their popularity decline and their reputations suffer, because of the often rigid rules and controls that have been established. These rigid rules can often have a big negative impact. The world is full of different and often very diverse faiths and the ULC Seminary firmly believes that they should all be allowed to freely practice their faith unchallenged in the way they would like to.
Any spiritual leaders interested in having their own ministry can take advantage of the church’s online process for becoming ordained. It should be noted, however, that the internet is merely a conduit for processing the ordination request. Every ordination request is reviewed by hand for authenticity before being recorded legally. Other invaluable services that are offered include assistance with various ceremonial events and services, including weddings, as well as ministry training, an online seminary program and many opportunities for their ministers to keep in touch with each other. The ULC firmly believes that we are all part of one universal family, a belief that is shown through its actions and programs.
Any pastor, rabbi or minister interested in starting their own ministry will receive help through several useful tools, including online community sermons, marriage law information, how to start your own church and ordain people on your own site, as well as a host of courses about other religions. The ULC Seminary offers free mailings of sermons (both generally spiritual or Christian in nature), articles of general interest, and a weekly mailing of kind words. In return for all these services, which are entirely free to use, the church simply requests that freedom of religion is encouraged and advocated by ministers at the Universal Life Church.
