PART 1645_CLASSIFICATION OF MINISTERS OF RELIGION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1645.7  Evaluation of claim.

    (a) In evaluating a claim for classification in Class 4-D, the board 
will not consider:
    (1) The training or abilities of the registrant for duty as a 
minister; or
    (2) The motive or sincerity of the registrant in serving as a 
minister.
    (b) The board should be careful to ascertain the actual duties and 
functions of registrants seeking classification in Class 4-D, such 
classification being appropriate only for leaders of the various 
religious groups, not granted to members of such groups generally.
    (c) Preaching and teaching the principles of one's sect, if 
performed part-time or half-time, occasionally or irregularly, are 
insufficient to establish eligiblity for Class 4-D. These activities 
must be regularly performed and must comprise the registrant's regular 
calling or full-time profession. The mere fact of some secular 
employment on the part of a registrant requesting classification in 
Class 4-D does not in itself make him ineligible for that class.
    (d) The board should request the registrant to furnish any 
additional information that it believes will be of assistance in the 
consideration of the registrant's claim for classification in Class 4-D.
