Whenever I hear someone allege ULC cannot be a true religion on basis it has no complex orthodoxy, and is a nondenominational comparative religion exercise, it strikes me how many have forgotten the other equally important term that signifies a faith as well as religion; that philosophically recognized term is “orthopraxy”.
All ULC Monastery requires of its ministers is that they do the right peaceful things in life as they alone believe need to be said or done; ULC Monastery requires no particular belief(s) of ministers; even if ULC Monastery didn’t have its sole sacrament of marriage, its administrators or founders believe in God; and inviting its ministers to discuss how…through particular religious belief(s) or not…ministers go through life doing right things; and ULC Monastery has available a book of rites it suggests for any minister’s use or non-use, through such conjunctive happenstance ULC Monastery is NOT a comparative religion society with no denomination, insofar as establishing orthopraxy of a religion or faith is concerned.
ULC Monastery has not yet been over-turned by Federal Courts already of record representing ULC Monastery as a real and legal religion as a concept and as online ordination processor; a more thorough study by ministers and administrators of “orthopraxy” would help them demonstrate that in fact ULC Monastery operation further supports that religion need not be culture-bound, with many people sharing the same peaceful metaphysical interest in all humanity.
