The Church of Tom Jones

[JasonGoodwin]

I wish I was making this up.

I first heard about it on the BBC World Service on my XM Radio a few weeks ago. This place really does exist.

As I was listening, I was just completely baffled by what I was hearing -- and even more so when the guy made it crystal clear that he was serious about the whole thing.

Jay, you're not using a little tongue in cheek here, are you?

It's the Universal Life Church - they've been mailing out these "ordinations" for years!

Westminster Presbyterian Church in Vancouver, WA was founded in 1992. We used to have a standing joke about Dr. Bordwine being our "mail-order" minister, because we had become initially acquained with him through correspondence. But he was legitimately ordained!
