Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does it mean that „We are all children of the same universe”?

This phrase reminds us that every human being – regardless of religion, culture, or society – comes from the same Source and is part of the same greater whole. To be a child of the universe means we share a common origin and a shared responsibility for one another and for the world.

It emphasizes:

• Unity – despite our differences, we belong together.

• Dignity – every person carries innate worth and deserves respect.

• Community – human relationships and shared experiences form bridges between us.

• Responsibility – taking care of the world and for each other is our common task.

This vision is the foundation of the DeusDei community: ceremonies, spiritual support, and communal life all serve to remind members of this belonging, and to live in harmony with themselves, with one another, and with creation.

2. What does interfaith and non-denominational mean?

It means the community is not bound to a single religious tradition. Instead, it honors the wisdom of many traditions and places universal values – love, compassion, dignity – at the center.

3. How is the community connected to the international ULC?

DeusDei is aligned with the spirit of the Universal Life Church (ULC), which provides ordinations and ceremonies recognized worldwide. Ministers ordained by the ULC hold official certificates that are legally acknowledged in several countries.

4. What does it mean to belong to the DeusDei community?

Belonging is not an administrative process, but a spiritual and communal decision. Whoever accepts the principles of the Creed and participates in the life of the community – whether by visiting the pages or joining ceremonies, is already considered a member.

5. Why is membership important if there is no formal registration?

Membership gives the community its strength. Even without official registration, every member’s presence, participation, and commitment enriches and empowers us. Together, members move the world forward – through daily presence, shared ceremonies, attentiveness to others, and nurturing spiritual values.

6. How can one join the community?

No forms or official registration are required. Membership is based simply on accepting and living by the principles of the Creed. This practice is in harmony with most religious communities in Hungary.

7. Is there a difference between ministers and members?

Yes. Ministers are officially ordained and certified, which authorizes them to lead ceremonies. Members have no formal requirements; their belonging is based on participation and acceptance of the Creed.

8. Are DeusDei ceremonies legally valid in Hungary?

In Hungary, official legal events – such as marriages or funerals – can only be conducted by state-appointed officials (registrars, authorities). Religious or spiritual ceremonies carry spiritual and communal value, but do not confer legal status.

9. What ceremonies does the community offer?

The community offers weddings, same-sex weddings, vow renewals, handfastings, baptisms, initiations, funerals and farewells, child blessings and naming ceremonies, as well as spiritual services such as space cleansing, healing, and spiritual guidance.

10. What is the difference between baptism and naming ceremonies?

Baptism is traditionally a religious initiation, blessing the child or adult. Naming ceremonies are more communal and spiritual, celebrating the child’s name and life path without denominational boundaries.

11. What is spiritual space cleansing?

It is a ritual aimed at releasing heavy or stagnant energies from a home or communal space. Through incense, prayers, and mantras, harmony is restored so the space becomes supportive and peaceful.

12. What is the essence of Reiki healing?

Reiki is a Japanese method of energy transmission that supports the body’s natural healing processes. The practitioner acts as a channel, allowing universal life energy to flow to the recipient, fostering inner peace and harmony of body and spirit.

13. How does marriage preparation take place?

Couples prepare for shared life through conversations about communication, conflict resolution, shared values, and goals. This process helps build a strong foundation for marriage.

14. Is there a fee for ceremonies or membership?

Membership is free, as belonging is a spiritual and communal decision. Ceremonies may involve offerings or contributions, which support the community’s life and services.

15. How can one contact the community?

Through the community’s online platforms, anyone can connect, participate in the communal space, and learn about ceremonies, events, and services.

16. Why is online participation important?

Online presence allows members to connect regardless of distance. Visiting the site and engaging in the communal space strengthens belonging and creates opportunities for shared learning, celebration, and support.

17. How does the community support daily life?

The community is present not only in ceremonies but in everyday life – through spiritual guidance, communal support, and practices that help members live with greater peace, awareness, and love.

18. Is prior training or religious background required to join?

No. The community is open to all, regardless of religious or cultural background. Joining is based on accepting the Creed and participating in the life of the community.

19. How is a ceremony prepared?

Preparation always adapts to the needs of participants. The minister and those involved shape the ceremony together so that it reflects the life situation, values, and traditions with dignity.

20. Can ceremonies be personalized?

Yes. Ceremonies are flexible and always built around the unique story, values, and wishes of the participants. Each ceremony is therefore one-of-a-kind and unrepeatable.
