Who is a minister here?

[therev]

i am currently ordained non denominationally through Universal Life Church in Modesto, Ca. I am going to persue ordination with the Episcopal Church. I currently am a member of an Episcopal church.

If you are a minister, please share your denomination. i am curious to see how many bass playing ministers we have on here.

You mean the $15 online ordination novelty? I did that years ago.
I believe the Episcopal Church has more a more stringent ordination process.

Are you going to incorporate the life insurance license that you were pursuing in another thread?

No. That is the Universal Church monastery. Which ordains anyone. This is a legimate church.

 

[TNCreature]

No it's not. It is a mail order church. "Legitimate" might be a legal term.

I am not, but my father, father-in-law and wife are all ordained. My wife and father-in-law are ordained with the Pentecostal Church of Canada and my father is ordained with a non-denominational group.

What about Sinister Ministers?

 

[colcifer]

What are the qualifications needed to be a minister, anyway?

I have a good friend who's deep in the OTO. Cool stuff.

 

[MatticusMania]

Really? That is cool stuff! I am not actually initiated... yet.

Would this fall under religious discussions that are not allowed at TalkBass?

I know. I've read up on the Templars and offshoots for years. Just being coy. What near mythical history, eh?

Yeah, we talked about it on occasion, but he couldn't give me too much info unless I was interested in a more in depth experience. He is a cool guy, brilliant, talented musician, and fun. He was pretty heavily into the academic side of the occult world.

Cults, shams and underground societies are excluded. They are more like cigar clubs or floating gambling games.

Whatever!

Hi Rev, I am not a minister but I am a part of the Four Square orginization that was started by Amy Semple Mcpherson. Some people have called her a sham and what she started a cult so I guess that exempts me too. I am a pastor which as you probably know is a heart matter more than anything else. No one calls me by that title, I don't have a diploma or anything I just love people and Jesus with all my heart. Well I try anyway. I also play bass in a worship band. We play a lot of Jesus Culture, Misty Edwards and spontanious Spirit led worship. As you can see already there are all kinds of different people here and that is a great thing. Take things lightly and you will have some great discsussions. We are not supposed to talk about religion, so go gently and give people lots of space to express their views. Welcome and congradulations on your ordination.

 

[TNCreature]

Whatever!

Did you go to seminary? Bible college?
