"Religion is not confined to a sect or a ritual. The symbols of a religion to one are anathema to another. What one may regard as charity, another may scorn as foolish waste. And even education is today not free from divergence of view as to its validity." Unity School of Christianity, 4 B.T.A. 61, 70 (1925) What's A Church?In United States vs Seeger, 380 U.S. 163 (Supreme Court 1965), we find the Court addressing the concept of God and religion and holding that the test of belief in God (they put in supreme being) is whether a given belief that is sincere and meaningful occupies place in the life of its possessor, [parallel] to that filled by the orthodox belief in God of one who is clearly religious. Assuming the holding of the Court is valid in the above cases, it then necessarily follows that any lawful means of formally observing the tenets of faith of any religious body is worship within the meaning of the tax-emption provisions. In another case the court held that. 'The terms "religion" or "religions" in tax exemption laws should not include any reference to whether the beliefs involved are theistic or non-theistic. Religion simply includes: (1) a belief, not necessarily referring to supernatural powers; (2) a cult, involving a gregarious association openly expressing the belief; (3) a system of moral practice directly resulting from an adherence to the belief; and (4) an organization with the cult designed to observe the tenets of belief The content of the belief is of no moment.' Fellowship of Humanity vs Alameda County (57)(1) 153 Cal A. 2nd 673, 315 P. 2nd 394 THE COURT OF "ORDINATION"It may be of benefit here to pursue a few more case histories in order to establish just what the ordination is from established case law. [When making reference to the church it includes local congregations.] (a) Kibbe vs. Antram 4 Conn, 134, 139, we see that to "ordain" is to vest with authority ministerial function of sacerdotal power. Also, from the above case it is established that "the ordination" of a clergyman remains even after his separation from a church of which he once had charge, and his spiritual authority continues, although he is not settled over a particular congregation. (b) "Generally a duly 'ordained minister' is one who has followed a prescribed course of study of religious principles, has been consecrated to the service of living and teaching that religion through an ordination ceremony under the auspices of an established church, has been commissioned by that church as its minister in the service of God and generally is subject to control or discipline by a council of the church." Buttocall vs U.S.C.C.A Tex., 130F, 2nd 172, 174 (c) "The minister may be installed over some particular society, either incorporated or unincorporated." Ruggies vs Kimball, 12 Mass. 337,338 THE MAKING OF A MINISTERFirst of all, we need a minister, Duly Ordained, or who may be licensed and/or Commissioned by the Church. From a Christian perspective, this individual is usually the product of the following evolution: CONVERSION Conversion is an experience that an individual experiences, the end of which establishes a deep seated personal conviction with respect to God, and that individual's responsibility thereunder. More literally translated from the Greek and Hebrew Scriptures, Conversion is a turning either towards or away from God and His Law and Word (in this case we are considering the turn toward God and a final Life, long commitment thereto) This final commitment may come as a sudden crisis or as the result of a prolonged sequence at experience and events. MOTIVATION The Conversion of the individual comes about by becoming aware of the truth. The truth being established in the heart of the convert causes him to want to share the truth with others around him. If a real change has taken place in the life of a convert, he or she will want, with deep desire, to communicate the truth to others, sharing knowledge and desiring to bring all unto Christ. NOTE: We are certain that there are other perspectives relative to churches and the free exercise of religion which are not necessarily Christian in nature. However, we cannot speak to these perspectives since our perspective is one that is particularly Christian. WHAT IS RELIGION?It would appear from the above that what "religious" or "religion" is depends upon a person's personal belief and not upon any organized or official stand. One's concept of the supreme Being cannot be subjected to evaluative criteria, as long as it is sincere, meaningful, and occupies a place in your life equal to that concept of God which a person of an orthodox persuasion might hold. Now, before you perform brain surgery, it would be well for you to:
"Study to show yourself approved to God, a workman that needeth not
be ashamed." "The moment an attempt is made to limit or restrict ordination to some special form of ceremony, we begin to discriminate between the diverse modes and forms of ordination practiced by the various religious societies. The laws of Ohio make no discrimination in any respect between Catholic, Gentile, Jewish or any other religious societies or denominations; much less do they attempt to prescribe any mode of ministerial ordination, which is defined in the Standard Dictionary as:
the act or rite of admitting and setting apart to the Christian
ministry or the holy orders, especially in the Roman Catholic,
Anglican, and Greek Church's consecration to the ministry by the
laying on of hands of a bishop or bishops; in other churches,
consecration by a presbytery, or council members." It has been the
practice of this court, therefore, to grant the license to authorize
the solemnization of marriages to duly commissioned officers to the
Salvation Army who were engaged under such priest, Jewish Rabbis,
teachers and ministers of spiritualistic philosophy, and in fact all
persons who can prove to the satisfaction of the court that they
have been duly appointed or recognized in the manner required by the
regulations of their respective denomination, and are devoting
themselves generally to the work of officiating and ministering in
the religion interest and affairs of such societies or bodies." The information presented above that: an ordination is only a recognition by some religious society (your congregation), publicly proclaiming that said individual is vested with spiritual authority; a right which that individual had prior to public proclamation. If, after once having been ordained, a minister leaves his church and congregation, his ministerial authority does NOT cease even though he is no longer physically tied to that initial religious (church) body. Generally, most ministers have studied and are under the authority of same governing body. Whether the church is incorporated or unincorporated, the state has no authority whatsoever in the internal affairs of the church. And finally, the form of the ordination and the ceremony means little when we like into consideration all the other religious organizations in the united States - the rites of one religious body are considered just as credible as any other religious body Corporation Sole Introduction--next> To Contact an expert right now for more information to get started on these programs, please click on one of these links and fill out the appropriate form.
