For centuries, humanity has struggled under the weight of the Big Lie — that says some people can be natural-born inferiors. This destructive idea has fueled oppression, discrimination, fascism, slavery, and countless attacks on human dignity.
Temple of the Groovy Eye exists to challenge the Big Lie and replace it with the Big Truth. As a registered non-profit religious institution, TOGE is focused on the sacredness of the present moment and the power of present action. We believe that here is a holy place to be, and that every act of equality today helps create a more just and compassionate world.
Through ordination, you can help carry the message of equality into one of life’s most significant moments.
Becoming ordained through Temple of the Groovy Eye means more than obtaining the legal authority to officiate weddings. It means becoming part of a community that is committed to advancing equality wherever it is needed.
As TOGE clergy, you can represent our organization publicly while helping couples celebrate their commitment in a meaningful and inclusive way. You become a messenger of the Big Truth, carrying a simple yet transformative principle into every ceremony you conduct.
Whether you are helping lifelong friends, family members, or members of your community begin their next chapter together, you can serve as the person who helps make that moment official and memorable. Most importantly, by grounding the ceremony in the principle of equality, you actively create a foundation of mutual respect and shared humanity from the very beginning of a couple’s married life.
Bringing the Message of Equality Into Life’s Most Important Moments
The Big Truth is intentionally simple. It harms no one. Instead, it declares the inherent equal worth of every individual.
When spoken in wedding ceremonies, this message becomes the foundation upon which vows are exchanged, and the bond that remakes society in its image.
Get ordained online through TOGE, and take beautiful action to make equality the lived experience of us all, one relationship at a time. From the union of individuals, to families, cities and nations, we will create a new world. You can be part of it.
Who Can Become an Ordained Minister?
Temple of the Groovy Eye believes that equality belongs to everyone. Our online ordination process, therefore, is designed to be accessible, welcoming, and inclusive.
You do not need years of formal religious training to begin your journey, nor do you need to fit a particular mold or come from a specific background. What matters most is your willingness to embrace the Temple’s sacred principle that every person is created equal.
Temple of the Groovy Eye welcomes all people who share a commitment to equality. The strength of our movement comes from the diversity of those who participate in it. There is power in a union.
If you believe that no one should be called inherently inferior, if you want to take action and challenge discrimination in all its forms, ordination may be the perfect next step.
