The BBB serving Northwest Florida has been notified by someone sending emails from brothermichael@universalonechurch.org that "There is no Michael J. Cauley at this address". This email was signed by Brother Michael Jordan Francis. Someone from this same email address also states, "you are wrong to assume Brother Michael is Michael Cauley. Michael Cauley is the Presiding Bishop only. Just because his picture appears on our website, that does not mean Brother Michael is Michael Cauley. Michael Cauley is the Presiding Bishop for 1000's of Churches throughout the world". The Florida Department of State Divisions of Corporations lists Michael J. Cauley as an officer of both Universal One Church and Universal Life Church World Headquarters. The BBB serving Northwest Florida doubts the claim that Michael J. Cauley is not receiving these emails.
On 6/11/2015 the website ulcnetwork.com stated "The Original Faith Based Universal Life Church has changed it's name to Universal One Church".Per the company's website
"So Why Did We Change Our Name From Universal Life Church To Universal One Church?
We needed to do so to preserve the good name of our Lord Jesus Christ, in addition to the integrity of the Christian Church and to the sacrament of ordination itself. These spin off Universal Life Churches which began in 1959 with Kirby Hensley, the self proclaimed Second Coming, Modesto Messiah and Conman as he himself stated on 60 Minutes have tarnished the Universal Life Church name beyond any chance for respectability ever again. The Universal Life Church name has become the butt of jokes, it is a laughing stock made fun of for ordaining dogs, cats, goats and whatever else someone has filled into an online ordination form. Very few take the Universal Life Church name seriously or recognize their ministers as real ministers. In many instances marriages are annulled or the minister is denied to even officiate the wedding to begin with." -
