At 7 p.m. on that day St. Mary’s will have a mean ingful first. On this day, the Reverend Henry Witten will be ordained to the Sacred Order of Priests. There are a few things about ordination that you might not know, so I will try to ex plain what ordination means. In the Episcopal Church there are three Orders, as they are known; Bishops, Priests, and Deacons. The initial ordination is to the Diaconate. As a deacon (it means “one who serves’’) the clergyman is limited to certain functions; he can do all things a priest can except — give a blessing or an absolution, perform a marriage service, or celebrate Holy Commu nion. In general, he is to assist the priest. To those who choose to go further there is the Ordination to the Sacred Order of Priests. This usually occurs about one year after Ordination to tbe Diaconate. The priest is given the full respon sibility of Christ’s Gospel. This is symbolized by the way in which the stole is worn. The deacon wears the stole across the chest, like a sash. The stole rep resents the “yoke of Christ.” At the time of Ordination to the Priesthood the stole is untied from the sash po sition and placed around the neck like a yoke — symbolizing the addi tional responsibility that tbe priest has taken on. The third Order is that of the Bishop. The Bishop traces his au thority back to the Twelve Apostles. The Bishop alone ordains to the dia conate. At the ordination to the priesthood, the Bishop presides and the deacon is also ordained by tbe priests present, who place their hand upon him in the “laying on of hands.” The Bishop is chief shep herd and the priest works under his authority. The Service of Ordination always takes place in the context of the Holy Communion, or as it is often known, the Eucharist, which means “Thanks giving.” An ordination is not an everyday ~ ^ f’ne in the life of the minister — for in this service the man publicly commits himself to a particular ministry in God’s Church; this is also special for those who are present. In Ordination the Church’s reli ance upon the Holy Spirit is strik ingly brought home. The presence of the Holy Spirit is needed for strength and guidance. The red stoles worn on this occasion are symbolic of the Holy Spirit. The priest re mains as he is — still a man — he is not “made perfect.” He is like every one else, except that he has made some special commitments in his life. We all have a ministry of some kind: this is one kind of ministry, one that is somewhat different from others. The ordination is a meaningful event and is most meaningful when it occurs among friends. As a family that lives, plays, works, and worships together, we all have an important part to play in this ordination. Our presence is no small thing. You are warmly invited to come and participate in this very meaning ful service of Ordination on Tues day, the 27th of April at 7 p.m. I hope to see you there. Sincerely, The Rev.
