New Universal Life Church Blog Articles

If you haven't visited the ULC Blog lately, check out the great new content, including a post titled "Dode Church: A Thorn in the Side of the English Church," which talks about the unconventional use of a nine-hundred year-old church in Kent, England. Owner Doug Chapman performs non-denominational weddings in the church, but the English Church has objected to the practice. Also, read on about "HIV and the Role of Religion," which discusses the effect Catholic and Islamic beliefs have on promotion of safe-sex practices. We will be adding more content multiple times per week, so check back often for relevant articles written for our ministers and their communities.

We have been working hard to provide more quality content for our ministers and improve their experience while visiting our web sites. Our home page at TheMonastery.org has been redesigned with crisper images and an easier-to-read format which we hope you will enjoy. Additionally, we have added many articles to the ULC.org Training & Education section, with topics on religions of the world and Universal Life Church history.
