20. Before candidates are accepted for ordination, they must submit documentation of their baptism and confirmation. In cases where such documentary attestation is impossib1e, the candidate may instead at the discretion of a Bishop swear an affidavit before a Magistrate or a Commissioner for Oaths, that they have been baptized and confirmed, giving such information as they are able.
21. In order correctly to confer the Orders of Priesthood or Deaconate, it is required that, in the judgment of the Bishop, the candidate possesses the requisite qualities and is considered beneficial to the ministry of the Church.
22. The Bishop must ensure that before a person is promoted to any order, they are properly instructed concerning the order itself and its obligations. The Archbishop shall have absolute discretion as to the nature of such instruction, the need for it, or otherwise.

28. It is usual though not essential for the principal consecrating Bishop at an Episcopal Consecration to have at least two other Bishops with him. However, where this is not practicable, letters from those who would wish to co-consecrate will be accepted in absentia.
29. No rites of ordination will be used without the approval of the Archbishop and such rites will be based on those openly approved within the Church.
30. All Bishops have the power to ordain Deacons and Priests of the Church. They must both satisfy themselves of the correctness of the rite used and the required intention to ordain. Each ordaining Bishop must issue their own respective ordination documents. The Archbishop shall be informed in advance of all ordinations, and shall have an absolute rite of veto upon any ordination that he considers undesirable.

They must be at least 25 years of age.
35. In the Church, a parish is not limited by geographical boundaries, it embraces all who have contact with a particular Priest. The Priest is their proper pastor. He exercises the pastoral care of the community entrusted to him under the guidance of a Bishop, whose ministry of Christ he is called to share, so that for this community he may carry out the office of teaching, sanctifying and serving with the cooperation of other Priests or Deacons and with the assistance of lay members of Christ’s faithful.
36. A Priest has the obligation to ensure that the word of God is proclaimed in its entirety to those within his parish. He is to see that the lay members of Christ’s faithful are instructed in the truths of the faith. He is to foster works that promote the spirit of the Gospel, including its relevance to social justice. He is to have a special care for the Christian education of children and young people.
37. A Priest is to strive to ensure that Christ’s faithful are nourished by the devout celebration of the Sacraments.
38. So that the Priest may fulfil his office of pastor, he is to strive to know those entrusted to his care. He is therefore to visit their families, sharing especially in their cares, anxieties and sorrows, comforting them in the Lord.
39. He is to help the sick and especially the dying in great charity, solicitously restoring them with the Sacraments and commending their souls to God. He is to be especially diligent in seeking out the poor, the suffering, the lonely, those who are exiled from their homeland, and those burdened with special difficulties.
40. The Priest is to recognise and promote the special role that lay members of Christ’s faithful have in the mission of the church, fostering their associations that have loving purposes. He is to ensure that the faithful are concerned for the local community and that they take part in and sustain works which promote the community.
41. The functions especially entrusted to the Priest are as follows: the administration of baptism, the administration of the Sacrament of Confirmation to those in danger of death or at the request of a Bishop, the anointing of the sick and the imparting of the Apostolic blessing, the conduct of marriages and the nuptial blessing, the conduct of funerals, the celebration of the Eucharist and also Sacramental confession.
42. A Priest is to be responsible for the keeping of proper registers, that is, of baptisms, of marriages and of deaths, and any other services conducted. He is to ensure that all entries are accurately made and that the registers are carefully preserved.

1. Ordinary clerical dress consists of a shirt and a clerical collar. Shirts may be violet or grey. In the Anglican tradition Roman Purple or Violet are only won by Bishops. Shirts of rainbow colours for the clergy are not acceptable. Clerical collars may be of the Roman type or inserted type as may be most convenient.
2. Clergy may also wear cassocks as part of their ordinary clerical dress and traditionally the cassocks was not worn over any other clothes but was considered as a garment in its own right. Cassocks are worn in liturgical celebrations; particularly choir Offices when they are worn with a surplice, scarf/tippet and academic hood where applicable. The ordinary colour of a cassock for the clergy is violet, a violet cincture and cape may also be worn. Cassocks come broadly in two different styles, a Roman style which buttons up the front, and a Sarum or wrap around style. The Sarum cassock is preferred but either is acceptable.
3. It is obligatory for Deacons and Priests to wear the stole. At the Eucharist the Priest may wear the stole crossed over his breast and fixed in position with the ends of the cincture or girdle. This symbolises the sacrifice of Christ that is about to be remembered. However, some modem sets of vestments are designed for the stole to be worn over the chasuble. Deacon’s stoles are worn over the left shoulder with the ends tied on the right hip. The stole is the symbol of the authority of the Priesthood / Deaconate. The colour of the stole will usually match that of the liturgical season.
4. Baptism; Priests may wear an alb and white stole (with the stole hanging down, not crossed) or a cassock, surplice and scarf / tippet. Deacons should wear alb and stole (with the stole worn in the Deacon style) or a cassock, surplice and scarf.
5. Reconciliation/ Penance/Confession: In a formal context the Priest should wear a cassock and a purple stole. In an informal context a stole will suffice. Small reconciliation stoles which are double-sided white / purple are available and Priests should carry one around with them at all times in case they are required to administer the sacraments in an emergency.
6. Marriage: priests may wear an alb and a white stole. Deacons should wear alb and stole (with the stole worn in the Deacon style) or a cassock, surplice and stole.
7. Sacrament of the Sick/Extreme Unction: Priests may wear an alb and purple stole with the stole hanging down, not crossed or a cassock, surplice and stole. In an emergency the reconciliation stole alone will suffice.
8. Funerals: Priests may wear either an alb and a black or purple stole (with the stole hanging down, not crossed) or a cassock, surplice and stole. Deacons should wear alb and stole with the stole worn in the Deacons style or a cassock, surplice and scarf and tippet.
9. Blessing of houses: Priests may wear an alb and white stole (with the stole hanging down, not crossed) or a cassock, surplice and scarf / tippet.
10. Copes: Copes may be worn for the solemn celebration of the sacraments outside of the Eucharist and for solemn processions and the formal celebration of the Divine Office.
11. Bishops: the normal wear of a Bishop shall be a cassock with rochet and red chimere, and tippet, although a black chimere may be worn for funerals. A zucatta may be worn, with cope and mitre on ceremonial occasions. In the alternative a Roman style cassock may be worn with a shoulder cape.
12. The Colours of the Liturgical Seasons.
    White: The sum of all colours so it can be worn at any time. Used particularly for the great feasts of Our Lord, The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Angels, Confessors and Virgins. It is worn during Christmastide and Eastertide. It may also be worn at funerals to symbolise the resurrection.
    Red: Red as the symbol of fire and blood is worn on Pentecost and on the feasts of Martyrs, Palm Sunday and may be worn on Good Friday.
    Green: Green, the colour of hope, is worn during what the church calls ‘Ordinary Time’.
    Purple: Purple is the symbol of penitence, humility and longing. It is worn during Lent and Advent and on All Soul’s Day and may be worn for funerals.
    Rose: Rose as the symbol of refreshment and joy is traditionally worn on the third Sunday of Advent and the fourth Sunday of Lent.
    Black: Black is the symbol of sadness and mourning. It may be worn on Good Friday, All Soul’s Day and Funerals. It has become less fashionable in recent years and has largely been replaced in some jurisdictions by Purple. The Church will continue to allow its clergy to wear Violet/Merun/Purple if they so wish.
13. The minimum required accoutrements for those in Holy Orders would thus consist of:
    • A White Stole because white can be worn at any time.
    • An alb and amice if required, with girdle.
    • A Reconciliation stole.
    • A White chasuble.
    • A Cassock.
    • A Surplice
    • A Black scarf / tippet.

The Sacraments of the Church are the Sacraments of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, and are the outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual Grace.

1. The Sacraments of the New Testament were instituted by Christ the Lord and entrusted to the Church. As actions of Christ and of the Church, they are signs and means by which faith is expressed and strengthened, worship is offered to God and our sanctification brought about. Thus they contribute in the most effective manner to establishing, strengthening and manifesting ecclesiastical communion.
2. Sacred ministers may not properly deny the Sacraments to those opportunely ask for them.
3. Because they imprint a character, the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders cannot be repeated.
4. By Baptism people are freed from sins, and are born again as children of God and, made like Christ by an indelible character, and are incorporated into the Church.
5. Baptism is to be conferred by total immersion water with the appropriate words, using any rite that may be approved by the Archbishop. The Ordinary minister of Baptism is a Bishop, Priest or a Deacon, but may in cases of emergency be carried out by a Deaconess, a Lay Reader or any confirmed member of the Church.
6. In so far as possible, in the case of Infant Baptism, the child being baptised shall be assigned at least one Godparent. The parents are to choose the Godparents and they can be any Baptised Christian of full age.
7. The Priest must carefully and without delay record in the Register of Baptism the full names and date of birth of the baptised, the minister, the parents, the Godparents and the place and date of the baptism.
8. The Sacrament of Confirmation confers a character. By it the baptised continue their path of Christian initiation. They are enriched with the gift of the Holy Spirit and are more closely linked to the Church. They are made strong and more firmly obliged by word and deed to witness to Christ and to spread and defend the faith.
9. The Sacrament of Confirmation is conferred by anointing with chrism on the forehead and by the laying on of the hands by the confirming Bishop, and by the appropriate words.
10. The chrism to be used in the Sacrament of Confirmation should have been consecrated by a Bishop.
11. The ordinary minister for the Confirmation is a Bishop. Where it is not expedient or convenient for a Bishop to confirm, a Priest can also validly confer this Sacrament at the request of a Bishop, In the normal course of events the nominated Priest should be a Canon of the Church.
12. To establish that Confirmation has been conferred the full names of those confirmed, the Bishop, the parents and the place and date of the Confirmation shall be recorded in the Register of Confirmations.
13. All Baptised and Confirmed people are to be invited to receive the Holy Communion. This should include all those from other Christian denominations the only requirement being a love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
14. The most Holy sacrifice of the Eucharist must be offered in bread, and in wine to which a small quantity of water has been added. Reception of the consecrated host in the hands is permitted in accordance with the Anglican tradition.
15. In the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation those who confess their sins to a Priest, and are sorry for their sins and have a purpose of amendment, receive from God, through the absolution given by that minister, forgiveness of the sins they have committed after baptism, and at the same time they are reconciled with the Church, which by sinning they wounded.
16. Only a Bishop or Priest is the minister of the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.
17. The anointing of the sick, by which the Church commends to the suffering, and glorified Lord those who are dangerously ill so that He may support and save them, is conferred by anointing them with Holy Oil and pronouncing the relevant words.
18. The Holy Oil to be used in the anointing of the sick is normally blessed by a Bishop but in the case of necessity any Priest may bless the oil, but it should only be blessed during the celebration of the Sacrament.
19. The minister is to apply the anointing oil with his own hands, using the relevant words. If for some very special medical reason it is indicated that anointing by hand would be inappropriate then and then only may an anointing spoon be used.
20. A Bishop, Priest or a Deacon can validly administer the Sacrament of the anointing of the Sick.

1. Matrimonial consent is an act of will by which a man and a woman by an irrevocable covenant mutually give and accept one another for the purpose of establishing a marriage.

5. A Priest can impart blessings, except those reserved to the Bishop. In accordance with the traditional practice of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church throughout the world a Deacon may bless people, but not objects.
6. No cleric should attempt to exorcise the possessed without the special and express permission and guidance or the Archbishop, using only the Form of Exorcism provided and approved by the Church.

In the case of a marriage service in England and Wales, they may only take place in a building, which has been properly licensed for that purpose by the local authority and only then in the presence of an authorised person – the Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths. Marriage blessing services following a civil ceremony may however take place at any convenient location.
9. The Church does not under any circumstances recognize the civil partnership ceremonies, which take place between homosexual males or lesbian females. Clergy members found to have attended or given a blessing at such ceremonies will be subject to a disciplinary hearing in the Chancellor’s Court, which will ultimately lead to their expulsion from the Church. There will be no right of appeal against such decisions.

1. All the services of the Church can be held in any appropriate place. At the discretion of a Bishop, Priest, Deacon, church or lay people involved.
2. Sacred places are those, which are assigned to divine worship or to the burial of the faithful by the dedication or blessing provided for this purpose.
3. It is appropriate that places set aside for use of a Church be dedicated and blessed. The dedication and blessing of a place belongs to a Bishop, but may be delegated to another appropriate clergyman if necessary.

7. A document is to be drawn up recording the dedication or blessing of the place, which must be retained by the Priest in charge.
8. Sacred places are violated by acts done in them which are gravely injurious and give scandal when, in the judgement of a Bishop, these acts are so serious and so contrary to the holiness of the place that the harm needs to be repaired by means of a penitential rite.
9. Sacred places lose their dedication or blessing if they have been in great measure destroyed, or if they have been permanently made over to secular usage, whether by decree of a Bishop or simply in fact.
10. There shall be no impediment preventing the Church from using any building belonging to another Christian group or denomination with the full consent of the ordinary authority of that place.
