Dear James Edgecombe,

Hello, and welcome to the forum!
Yes, all faiths, non-faiths, created and mainstream faiths are all equal and accepted with the ULC. Regardless of belief system, political, lifestyle, language, culture, gender, or education, each minister is recognized as a unique and respected individual, and a valued member of the ULC, for each minister before being ordained, agreed to adhere to our one tenet of “Do that which is right”.
I am from Canada so I don’t know what to tell you about your driver’s license. In my country, the titles of clergy are not permitted to be added to your license, but it may be different in the United States. As far as legitimacy, yes, you are now an ordained minister with the ULC, and as such can perform all duties granted any clergy. You may represent yourself as a minister both in word and on paper since that is what you are. You may be asked from time to time, to submit proof of your status, but a simple purchase of your certificate of that status can provide such proof. Others may require a bit more proof than that, and request a “Letter of Good Standings” from our church. This too may also be purchased from our store. Such things may become necessary when presiding over matters that concern legalities, such as weddings for example.
So again, welcome, I look forward to sharing your views. smile.gif

God’s blessings,

Rev. Campbell.

Hello James,
I am new too! Unfortunately ULC is not recognised here in Australia (funny that, considering we are only trying to do that which is right). Anyhow, I didnt become ordained for any one other than myself - so I guess it doesnt really matter how I show my faith and beleifs, what does matter is that I have them. I wish you well with all that you want to do. For myself, I am content to have my own web ministry and hopefuly likeminded people to join me in our form of loving, living, sharing and worshipping.
All strength to you James.

Welcome to our humble presence. I wish you well. (Not sure about the title usage both in context for an athiest - and as if permissible of certain government documents. Check with the local DMV. I BET YOU CAN GET A SPECIALTY PLATE THOUGH!)
