I wish I was making this up.
I first heard about it on the BBC World Service on my XM Radio a few weeks ago. This place really does exist.
As I was listening, I was just completely baffled by what I was hearing -- and even more so when the guy made it crystal clear that he was serious about the whole thing.

Westminster Presbyterian Church in Vancouver, WA was founded in 1992. We used to have a standing joke about Dr. Bordwine being our "mail-order" minister, because we had become initially acquained with him through correspondence. But he was legitimately ordained!
