Will Sanderson
Ordained Minister in Rockland, Maine
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I found the ULC 30 years ago,when I got out of the Army & was finding my new self, and searching for the right church for me. The path from "Online Ordination" to my personal enlightenment was a long one. I spent a year in seminary college in California, then went out to study different outlooks around the world. I finaly found for calling in the gosples of St. Sophia, St. Mary Magdalane, and the historical side of reppressed gnostic gosples and writtings of christianity. This past year I was ordained a Permenent Decon to the Chaple of St. Mary.
Where are you from?

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
It was a starting point for me. A connection to faith that I had put on hold as a soldier. My actual ordination was over 20 years ago, but I lost my orginial sign-in info & had to 'reordain'.
Religious Affiliations
Anglicanism, Eastern Orthodox Church, Gnosticism, Intelligent Design, Priory of Sion, Protestantism
Additional Information
I have always considered myself an agnostic gnostic. There are no absolutes when it comes to God & religion. We must find our own way to enlightenment. With over 40 cannon bibles in organized religion, and a total of over 400 different translations into english, it's a long road. The teachings of God are so much more than what was edited for the common masses 1600 years ago.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Rockland, ME wedding officiant?

Additional Information
I'm a Permenent Decon, and primarily a religious scholar & researcher. I'm most at home buried in books, or covered in dust at dig sites (Not so much any more), or 'arguing' with other scholars and bible study groups.
