    I tried to see if I was eligible to join since I’m already ordained just to find out that my certification doesn’t count. I was ordained through the Universal Life Monastery in Seattle Washington and can legally preform services in the United States yet can’t do the same for my country? please email me at [email protected] because I would really like to know.
