Richard Lee BentleyJr
Ordained Minister in Kokomo, Indiana
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
1997 I found my pagan path and having little knowledge and comprehension of the true nature of ordainment and the law I decided, in 2003 to go through your organization so that I would be legally able to officiate my sister's funeral. As well began having others want me to officiate weddings due to my pagan background.
Where are you from?
Indiana
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
having been ordained for over 20 years now, from your organization, it has allowed me a legal status to officiate many weddings, as well it helped me on my path with a status of ordainment that, at the time of my original ordainment 23Jul2003, I was unaware of the legalities and workings between the law and a religious order.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Kokomo, IN wedding officiant?
I can say that the majority of those that have come to me for a wedding experience it has been the Handfasting Cord Ritual that I perform. As well the general Pagan aspects, along with the encouragement of the couple to help create the overall ceremony and ritual.
