Title: That's "Your Eminence" If you Please Post by: spacey on February 16, 2007, 08:52:26 PM So my little brother is getting married and he thought it might be kind of cool if I performed the ceremony (note: he hasn't cleared this with his fiance, so it's not likely to happen, but still...). So this evening I became an ordained minister of the Church of Spiritual Humanism. I am now legally allowed to perform marriage ceremonies, funerals, etc.
You may now refer to me as "your eminence." I will also accept "your holiness," or in more casual conversations, "padre" will be fine. Go in peace my children.

Also, does the Instant Absolution of Sin include "self abuse"? If you are serious about being a minister, it is strongly recommended (but not required) that you purchase the Ministry In A Box. It contains a beautiful credential, (mentioned above) as well as the essential book, Weddings, Funerals and Rites of Passage and many other items that will make your transition into the ministry an easy and informed one.

We're a very progressive congregation. Imbibing, while not required, is encouraged. Celibacy is also optional, but not that hard to practice now that the good reverend's wife is no longer on birth control.
