Congratulations! You are now a legally ordained minister for life, though you may relinquish your credentials at any time. YOU HAVE BECOME A MEMBER OF THE PRESTIGIOUS CLERGY. You have earned a title worthy of admiration and respect.

Let it be known on this date that in accordance with the laws of the Universal Life Church Monastery, as ordaining officer, I, Brother Martin, do ordain you into our ministry. From this day forward, you are entitled to all of the rights of an ordained minister. You have the authority to perform marriages, baptisms, and all other ceremonies of the church. You are an independent minister of this church. This is a position that carries with it a burden of responsibility; please respect others and comply with the laws of the land.

Your ordination record will be filed at our headquarters, 1425 Broadway #67, Seattle, WA 98122. 

Although this letter certifies that you have been ordained through the church and in the eyes of God, most states require additional documentation in order for you to exercise your religious authority. It may be necessary for you to possess an official printed certificate, signed and affixed with the church's seal, before performing any religious ceremonies. 

Sincerely,

Brother Martin
