Best Answer

An ordained minister has been examined by a congregation and found to be orthodox in his beliefs. Then, those that have interviewed him certify or vouch for his orthodoxy and lay hands on him and prayer for his ministry. They then sign a paper stating that he is ordained by that group.

To be licensed is to have the state's registration. It includes what affiliation the minister claims. There is not an examination of orthodoxy.

Ministers are allowed to perform certain actions such as marriage with the state license.
