I would ask readers to avoid the practices supported by some of the google ads!

Oh, that's been around practically for ever - used to be a mail-order operation; now it's efficient, upgraded for the digital age. 'The Universal Life Church - We Believe in What's Right.' That appeals to people who want to officiate at friends' weddings, people who want to claim a tax exemption ('my house is a church') and some of the same type of clergy wannabes who crave respect as those who go to vagante bishops (claiming apostolic succession but not belonging to real churches) for ordination. This version seems to appeal to the less liturgically minded; vagantes want to swan about in vestments and give themselves big titles. The women who were ordained on boats in rivers recently are the latest sub-species of vagante, part of a game that's been around at least as long as mail-order scams.
