The Ordinal of the Church of South India1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 February 2009
Extract
The revised orders for the ordination of deacons and presbyters and the consecration of bishops were approved by the C.S.I. Synod in January 1958. The author must confess to some delay in writing this account of them; but this tardiness has at least given opportunity to begin with some comment on the essays Apostolic Succession, by Bishop Noel Hall, and ‘Episcopate’ and ‘Presbyterate’ in the Anglican Ordinal, by Professor J. M. Barkley, which appeared in Vol. 11, No. 2 (June 1958) of SJT.It may be a fruitful line of approach to this liturgical product of C.S.I, to set it beside the Anglican and Presbyterian standpoints concerning ordination, as stated in these essays, and to try and estimate what contribution it makes to the debate.

page 411 note 1 There is a slight awkwardness in ordaining more than one candidate at a time by this form of ordination. It suits best the practice which prevails in some parts of C.S.I., as in Scotland, of ordaining a man in the congregation to which he has been called.
