How to Become an Ordained Minister Online for Free

An ordained minister has several privileges, most notably the ability to perform wedding ceremonies, funerals and start a new legitimate church congregation. It used to take years of hard studying and guidance from elders to become ordained, but now anybody with an Internet connection can do it in a matter of minutes.
