Fr. Bret M. Williams
Ordained Minister in Waterford Township, Michigan
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became an ordained minister online because it was a quicker and more accessible path at the time, but I also wanted to make sure I was educated in the field, so I’ve continued with formal schooling to deepen my knowledge. One of the main reasons I pursued this path was to support the LGBTQ+ community, especially before same-sex marriage became legal in the U.S. I wanted to be able to perform inclusive ceremonies and offer support to those who needed it.
