.....Federal Trade Commission (FTC), specifically regarding "Free Ordination" claims by any of their Ministers, Charter Churches and/or Religious Affiliations. Anyone who violates by claiming "Free Ordination" will be dealt with accordingly.

Carrabelle, FL -- (SBWire) -- 09/30/2013 --The Universal Life Church World Headquarters once again reaffirms their commitment to abide by all Consumer Protection Laws as stated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), specifically regarding "Free Ordination" claims by any of their Ministers, Charter Churches and/or Religious Affiliations. Anyone who violates by claiming "Free Ordination" will be dealt with accordingly.

While the Sacrament of Ordination or Holy Orders is FREE on the surface, ministry credentials and/or Minister Picture ID Cards are required by the majority of County Clerks or Wedding Authorities within the United States to verify ordination. Such credentials are NOT free. The FTC and the Office of Consumer Protection have clear guidelines associated with deceptive advertising and "Free" work at home schemes. Getting ordained as a Minister to earn money as a wedding officiant, under the false pretense of "Free Ordination" only to find out you need to purchase ministry credentials maybe in direct violation of statute.

If you have been a victim of answering an advertisement for "Free Ordination" only to learn you needed to purchase ministry credentials, we strongly advise you to contact your Attorney General, Office of Consumer Protection or the Federal Trade Commission.
