Yeah, when my ex had her psych eval for the UCC we had many a joke that about what was considered insane. I think she had even said that sane people don't go into ministry!

Haha, so they test for sanity. Everyone knows the UCC is insane.  No seriously love the UCC and am a member. Most LBGT (including the T) congregation. Ever seen the movie "Call Me Malcolm?" of course it is about a transman, not a transwoman. Cool though.

I am personally friends with Malcolm. He and I are delegates for the 2013 Synod in Long Beach, California to introduce Trans care (including SRS) in their pension package for all employees for the UCC.

But yes, take comfort in knowing all UCC Ministers must take a VERY involving Psychiatric examination

Yeah. What my ex described sounded pretty grueling. Would you say it was harder than writing an ordination paper?

it depends on your conference. I think the ordination paper is more grueling.

I'm sane.  It's the only thing all the voices in my agree upon.

Personally, I think you've lost your "head."

Hey that's cool! I never knew anybody had to take a sanity test.

I had a certificate from my therapist that stated I was sane, unfortunately it has since expired.

Might be good to see if yours has one as well.

We can't have too many sane people in the world.
