Er, Bp. Nikon.

Thanks for the answers, guys.

Somehow I didn’t think I’d get a comprehensive list, though these answers for representative Christian (and informal) denominations are what I was looking for. I’d be interested to hear about the requirements for non-Christian religions.

You can become an ordained minister in the Church of the SubGenius for just $30. http://www.subgenius.com/scatalog/membership.htm; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subgenius.

For some reason, unlike an ordination in the Universal Life Church (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Life_Church), a SubGenius ordination will not legally authorize you to officiate at weddings, and don’t even ask about tax-exempt status. However, it will get you saved (“Eternal salvation – or triple your money back!”), and will qualify you to perform healings, sickenings, deflorations, excremeditations, and the acceptance of donations! Praise “Bob”! :smiley:

Of course, Roman Catholics, Orthodox Jews and probably some others require that you have a Y chromosome. If you don’t, you need not apply.
