The hanging parking permit.... what is this for, does it allow me to not have to pay a parking meter or be able to park in a area with parking restrictions as long as i am doing pastoral duties?
And what should i do if the city i live in does not acknowledge this permit. and please tell me what exactly are the considerations and privileges of a Minister other than the duties ( weddings, blessings services ect).Please help.

I assume it is as useful as the city allows it to be. In a smaller city it may actually do some good. It may also help some when parking on private property. I wouldn't assume any entitlement to free parking anywhere.

Please don't assume, i need answers not assumptions.

Greetings to you my brother,

Typically, all the parking permit will do is allow you to park in places that are designated as "Clergy Parking." Many (but not all) hospitals and nursing homes will have dedicated spaces for clergy to park when visiting members of their congregation. I am not aware of ANY munincipality that would allow you to park at metered or otherwise restricted spots based on having a clergy parking permit without feeding the meter or following the restrictions posted.

It is important to remember that in point and fact, the ONLY privilege ordination typically grants is the right to conduct a legal wedding, and even then, some locations do restrict that right to ministers who pastor a brick and mortar church. Some businesses MIGHT give you discounts on certain goods and services based on your ordination, but this is not a right, only a consideration some places give based on their own internal policies. For example, Family Christian Bookstores usually give clergy a 10% discount on purchases made at their stores. You really have to ask around in your are to see who may or may not give you any discounts.

Ordination also does NOT give you the right to perform actions that require a state license. For example, some people get ordained thinking that they can now perform counseling for profit. However counseling is an activity regulated by most states, and requiring a great deal of training. Clergy can do counseling, for a limited basis, and only about the teaching of their faith. They cannot do it as a full time occupation or charge for their services without getting a license.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

Yes it does Brother, and I thank you for such a quick response.

Not a problem my dear brother. I live to serve.
