"As one of the few #women #ordained as #orthodox #rabbis, and one of even fewer who run a #shul, I’m always on the lookout for news of attitudes in the orthodox community towards women’s roles in the #synagogue.

An #Israeli colleague recently shared a new survey, whose context is the dati leumi religious nationalist community in #Israel, but nevertheless bears parallels with our #UK context."

The law says #ordained #folks don't have to #officiate #marriages they're #against. But there wasn't a law requiring them to do so in the first place...

I need help starting a #Universalist #Ministry in the #SouthWestMetro of the #TwinCities #MN

#Church #ChurchForTheChurchless #Minister #Ministers #OrdainedClergy
(Please feel free to reply all or only to me here)

1. Recruitment - Founding #Clergy / #BoardMembers
* I was #ordained through the #UniversalLifeChurch but would love to work with clergy from other #churches too - as long as you're interested in #ReligousLiteracy & ReligiousLiberty
* Want/Need to be ordained? While there are many legally reconized churchs available online, I personally recommend: http://ulchq.com/ordination.htm

2. General advice
* Help! I've got a lot of paperwork done & ready for review, but I'm not sure of my next steps.
* I need an address (not my home, not a PO Box) to set all /this up - for paperwork & banking purposes. What free or low cost options do I have?
* Any recommendations for selecting a #RegisteredAgent are welcomed!

3. Soft legal advice
* What, exactly, is the difference between a #Ministry and a #church (if any)?
*TBD

I was #ordained as a Priestess of the Temple of #jediism so... when do I get to officiate a wedding? I have to believe there's a market for this

#Florida #Methodist #Conference votes to let 55 #Homophobic #churches leave over their fears of #gay #marriage, #clergy

“The #churches that are leaving are concerned that a #gay #person would be #married in the #MethodistChurch or they are concerned that a gay person might be #ordained as a #clergy person”

Intro post- 1
-I’m Nick. 41 years old. Married 17 years. 2 daughters.
-I’m #ordained and was a full-time #pastor (youth 12 years, then adult/preaching 5 years) in a non-denominational church.
-Born and raised in the #EastTennessee #SmokyMountains on the #appalachian trail.
-Originally raised in ultra conservative churches, lived through #purityculture (unfortunately taught it for several years as a youth pastor), and found freedom from legalism.

I was sent a photo of these photos today. A lifetime ago. The man in the middle is the reason I am the #priest I am today. I conducted his #funeral earlier this year.

22 years ago aged 27 I was #ordained. I'm still serving in the same Diocese. It remains my privilege to serve.

Howdy! #Introduction

Oh, and #cats. Lots & lots of cat content

Apparently this is legit and I'm an #ordained #minister now. I didn't realize it was that easy to get this title. It felt like I completed a level 2 quest in an MMO starter town:

"Quest Complete!
Title Unlocked: Minister"

I'm going to file paperwork with the City Clerk's office and then if the need arises I'll be able to perform marriages, baptisms, etc. in New York.

I was inspired to look into this by "The Big Bang Theory" TV show.
