*Concerning the Service*

*When a bishop is to confer Holy Orders, at least two presbyters must be 
present.*

*From the beginning of the service until the Offertory, the bishop 
presides from a chair placed close to the people, and facing them, so 
that all may see and hear what is done.*

*The ordinand is to be vested in surplice or alb, without stole, tippet, 
or other vesture distinctive of ecclesiastical or academic or order.*

*When the ordinand is presented, his full name (designated by the 
symbol &N.&N.) is used.  Thereafter, it is appropriate to refer to him 
only by the Christian name by which he wishes to be known.*

*At the Offertory, it is appropriate that the bread and wine be brought 
to the Altar by the family and friends of the newly ordained.*

*After receiving Holy Communion, the new deacon assists in the 
distribution of the Sacrament, ministering either the Bread or the Wine, 
or both.*

*The family of the newly ordained may receive Communion before other 
members of the congregation.  Opportunity is always given to the people 
to communicate.*

*Additional Directions are on page 552.*
