I went from college to seminary, and then when I was called to the church I now serve, I was able to be ordained. So yeah...preaching, teaching, weddings, funerals, baptisms...the whole 9 yards! The results are pretty interesting - I wonder how many folks were religion/philosophy majors and/or went to a Bible college? Oh -- Josh -- I may need your help judging the entries to the contest... and I may need to offer them some limerick-writing lessons...

It's kind of a notch or two below being ordained, but a notch or two above being not ordained. Being licensed means that you can performed weddings and funerals, but you are not actually ordained.
