The Universal Life Church was started back in 1959 by Kirby
Hensley a minister who was unhappy with the divisions in the
churches by judgment and believed no one should be criticized
or condemned for wanting to practice the belief of his or her
own choice.
He also believed and taught that ordination had already been
given by God and that the church just keeps official records so
that the new ministers are accepted by governments.
The church has ordained millions of people over the years and
there have been many abuses by some of the folks who were
ordained.
Even though many try to use their ministry to avoid paying taxes,
create other scams, or just as a joke the overwhelming majority are
sincere and has found a way to practice their beliefs based on what
they think is right.
