Universal Life Church

Universal Life Church Announcements - August 2008 Hello, Who's Who Book and current sales The Who's Who book is finally done. I've mailed out copies to everyone who is in it and have placed the finished copies on a special sale in the church store. For a limited time, I've discounted the cover price, so if you're interested, get your copy now. :) The Shamanism program is also on a temporary sale. It's on sale through the 20th of this month for just $50. It's an amazing, well-written course and I think you'll like it. It's available by going to: Shamanism Courses The blog where the course essays are listed is: www.ulcseminaryprogram.blogspot.com We have two other brand new courses that you all will be getting samples of before long. The first is the Master of Buddhism course, written by Tricia Stirling. People have been asking for this course ever since we had to pull the old one several years ago. This course is written in a clear and easy-to-understand fashion to help you grasp the basics of a variety of branches of Buddhism. The author has a wonderful story-telling style that leaves you with a feeling of competence when learning a new subject. It's available at: Buddhism The second course we are offering is the Dr. of Spiritual Awareness, written by Charles Grooms. If you've taken and enjoyed the Spirit Quest course, you will love this course as well. It covers a wide variety of spiritual topics with a different slant. It covers some of the same subjects as Spirit Quest, but also covers a whole lot more different ones. It's fun and enlightening and is a great experience. It's available at: Dr. of Spiritual Awareness The third most recent course that we have been offering is the Master of Christian History. Christian History. More on the course can be found at: Christian History Info. The other course I'd like to give a plug to is the Master of Mystical Christianity. This course is not getting as much attention as I think it deserves. It's a very well-written course that takes a different look at the origins of Christianity. If you're a Christian, it's great information to fill in some of the 'holes' that many have in their Christian education. If you're not Christian, it's a wonderful look at feminity and the role that women have had in history. The course is available at: Mystical Christianity. Weddings, Funerals and Rites Sequel Now that this book is done, I'll be putting my focus back on the sequel for Weddings, Funerals and Rites of Passage. I have over 350 pages done thus far and am working on the rest. I am still taking submissions, but I'm being very particular about what I'm accepting. For wedding ceremonies, the only kind I'm accepting are unusual ceremony parts like: Dove and Butterfly releases, jumping the broom, recognizing parents who have died, sand ceremonies, etc. I already have plenty of vows, promises, etc. I'd also like to clarify that when I get a ceremony from someone, I break it down into parts. With some ceremonies, I use all the parts and with some, I only use the more unusual parts, so please don't be offended if I don't use the whole thing in exactly the way you present it. I'm also still looking for the following: Funeral Ceremonies, Adult Baptisms, Pet Funerals, Coming of Age, House Blessings, etc. I'm including some divorce ceremonies as well and would love one (or more) for people who wish to symbolically separate, but are not doing it with their ex. Either because they are angry and hurt or because their ex isn't interested, but they would still like to symbolically end the marriage. Those whose ceremonies are included, will receive a complimentary copy of the book with my thanks. All author's names are included both at the bottom of each ceremony part as well as in a list in the back of the book. If you have a ceremony, send it to ulcseminary@sbcglobal.net. Please send it in the email or as a Word attachment. Also include your full name and snail mail address. Just a reminder that when you place your order and it includes a credential, the credentials come from headquarters and may take a little longer than the rest of your order. :)   Thanks!!! --Amy Rev.
