P — Solemn Ceremonies to Mark Consecration When Rev. Dr. James E. Freeman | Is conscerated as third Bishop of | Washington n Epiphany Church on | the morning of September 29, the | ritual used will be that set forth in the Book of Common Prayer of the Iplscopal Church in the United Spates, which has remained unchanged since Its adoption in 1792. This ritual is the survivor of much earlier forms of ceremony. There {s ample ground for dis- cussion as. to the date at which bishops were recognized as a dls- tinct order in the ministry of the arly Christian church, The tshop” used by St. Paul of New Bishop presbyters,” one on either side. Af: fhie creed has been sald the candidate is presented by two “presenters” to the presiding bishop, who is seated in a chair, called the cathedra, near or in front of the altar. The pi siding bishop then, in the words of the prayer .book, .‘'demands testi- monials ‘of the person preserted for consecration.” . “In - the . Amerlcan church’ it has become customary to present at_ this, time.a certificate of the ordination o} the candidate to the order of the priesthood, a certificate of his efection, the “canonical cer- tificate” setting forth the action of the diocesan convention at the time of his election, the certificate of his elec: ton by the'convention of the diocese to which he is called, the consent of the bishops of the church and the + comsent- of the standing committees Acts of the Apostles, are not'used in a way to {ndicate that bishops were of any different rank from the “elders” of priests. | Yet in the.second century there isi ample historical evidence ~that the, bishops were a separate order, sepd. | rately ordained by the successors of the_ Apostles. | Moreover a_careful study records show many srounds for su Posing that the Apostles, and esp clally St. John, the last of the ori inal twelve, realizing that the number was dwindling, did ceremoni~ ate leading priesets or < 8" e bishops or “overseers of the flock.” Probably St. Paul similarly consecrated both Timothy and Titus_and his words in - his spistle to Timothy, in which he re- ninds his pupil of “the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on ny hands,” may refer to the cere- of consecration. Laying om of Hands. Rituals of the still united Christian church in the third and fourth cen- which have been preserved i that consecration was perform cd by the laying on of the bishop's hands with appropriate prayer. .In the Roman services in the next four centurlies, the rite involved only these two features, prayer and the laying on_of hands. During this same perlod, there were in Rome certain “minor or- ders” such as acolytes, readers and doorkeepers, and these were appoint- ed by the ceremony of presc them certain objects which would need in the performance their duties.

Then follow a number of appropriate prayers, including the Litany. - This is the ‘only occasion in which the prayer book provides for saying the Litany durink the service of holy communion, a custom handed down from antiquity. The presiding bishop then proceed: to examine the candidate, asking hir set questions concerning his faith an his intentions faithfully to perfor: the duties of the high office to whic he is called. The examination having been satis factorily concluded ‘the-candidate is presented with- the ‘“chimere,” the sleeveless coat of heayy biack silk which forms the outer garment of the bishop’s ceremonial dress; and ‘the “stole,” or band of broad ribbon worn over the shoulders of all clergymen when officlating In the chancel. This custom 1s, of course, & reminder of the anclent ceremony. already referred to. The candidate now kneels, as do the congregation and. cholr, the consecra- tors remaining’ standing, while there is sung over him responsively the an- clent hymn called “YVeni, Creator Spiritus,” the first line of which in English’ reads, “Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire.” This hymn is a cribed, though without sufficiént proof, to St Ambrose, who was Bishop of M"an in A.

" Here we see the sur- vival of the anclent custom of the tradition ‘of“the instruments. The presentation of the Bible closes the consecration service proper and the bishops proceed with the service of holy communion. At the consecra- tion of Bishop Harding, it was ar- ranged that only the bishops and clergy, the lay deputles of the diocesan convention, the members of the cathedral chapter and the family of the bishop-elect recdived the com- | munion at this time, because of the Epliscopal anything like the pomp and grandeur | any Church on the of great ceremonles in the church of the middle-ages, those who are for- lateness of the hour.
