Thomas L. Knapp
Ordained Minister in Archer, Florida
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I originally became ordained with the intention of committing civil disobedience (marrying same-sex couples when Missouri law provided for a jail and fine for clergy who did so). Unfortunately, I found no takers for the offer.
Where are you from?
I was raised in Missouri, and moved to Florida a few years ago.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I'm interested in providing ministerial services -- counseling, communion, weddings, etc. -- to any who need those services.
Religious Affiliations
Unitarian Universalism, Other
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Archer, FL wedding officiant?
I strive to comfort, edify, etc. without judgment. Apart from reasonable expenses if travel is required, "love offering" in any amount -- I'm in this for the outcome, not the income.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
North central Florida, especially the Gainesville area
Types of Service Offered
Same-Sex Marriages, Renewal of Vows, Handfastings, Spiritual Guidance
