Frederick Christopher King
Ordained Minister in Hanover Park, Illinois
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
Stark honesty: I received notification of online ordination in a "Weird Web Links" e-newsletter that I was subscribed to. I did it because I didn't believe that it was that easy. When I found out it was real, I decided that would be the one area of my life that I would take extremely seriously.
Where are you from?
Chicago, Illinois
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to be able to provide services to traditional and non-traditional couples alike. Nobody should be excluded based on their belief system.
Religious Affiliations
Atheism, Baha'i Faith, Baptists, Buddhism, Catholicism, Christianity, Protestantism, Spiritualism, Universal Life Church, Zen, Other
Additional Information
I am indeed more spiritual than aligned with any one particular religious ideology. There is room for all manner of belief systems in the diaspora of faith. I most closely align with Baha'i principles, with some Paganism and Zen philosophy mixed in.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Hanover Park, IL wedding officiant?
I like to have several meetings with couples to make sure that the ceremony meets with their expectations. I stay in contact and check periodically to ensure that any desired changes are included in the ceremony.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I am available to perform ceremonies in the greater Chicagoland area, NW Indiana, and Wisconsin locations up to Green Bay.
