Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What religion is ADL based on?

ADL is considered a interfaith organization. This means, we are not based in any established religion or spiritual tradition.

However, you will easily find a basis for the lessons in our programs in practically any spiritual tradition. The lessons can also be applied within any religious or spiritual tradition to deepen the experience.

This means, no matter what spiritual background you come from, the lessons shared in ADL will only deepen your spiritual experience.

Can I take courses without being or becoming a minister?

Yes! We have found there are many people who want to deepen their spiritual connection and experience but don't have the desire to become a minister.

Ministers, just like every other spiritual seeker, are on a personal journey to expand and deepen their own spiritual awareness. So, for our ministers, our courses provide both personal growth and continuing education.

Are ministerial training fees refundable?

We take this on a case-by-case basis. 

The fees for ministerial training are mainly used to cover people's time (for reviewing your application and mentoring you through the program). Since people's time cannot be returned to them, we typically do not offer refunds after the time has been spent.

However, we try to be as flexible and supportive as possible, so please feel free to contact us regarding your situation.

Is it possible to get financial assistance?

ADL Ministers who need assistance paying their annual renewal dues may submit a Angel Fund Request form.

NOTE: Submission of this request does not guarantee approval.

Technical Questions

How do I renew my ministerial license if I don't want to do it online?

Our website makes it easy and safe to renew your license. It also gives you more control over your profile and information.

However, we know some people are not comfortable using online systems. So, you can also download our renewal form, complete the form and submit it with a check payment to our mailing address.

How do I update my email address and ADL account information?

There are a couple of places to update your ADL account info:

  • Directory Profile information 
    This is what shows on your profile in the Directory. This is also where you can view your purchase history and access receipts.
    NOTE: ADL staff cannot update your profile information, only you have access to that.
    Update your Profile info here >

  • ADL Administrative information 
    This is information ADL uses for administrative purposes (ie. Chapel info, mailing address, etc.).
    Update your Administrative info here >

Updating your email address

Your Profile information is what you use to log in to the ADL website. So, even if we change your email address on your ADL Administrative records, you will still need to use whatever email and user ID that is on your profile for logging in (which only you have access to change).

When updating your email address on your ADL Administrative records, be sure to follow the instructions at the top of the form (leave the email that shows in the "Email" field and add your new email address in the "New Email" field). We will have to manually update your email in the system for you after you submit the form. All other information automatically updates upon submitting the form.
