Cancer is one of the worst things in this world. It can hit anyone of any age, and almost everyone knows at least one person affected by it, and it takes far too many lives each year.

The Universal Life Church Ministries proudly welcomes all who feel called to get ordained,
regardless of creed. We enable all faiths; Christian, Jewish, Mormon, Muslim, Pagan, Wiccan,
Atheist – and more – to join our growing non-denominational congregation. Underlying everything
we do is a simple core belief: that we are all children of the same universe.
