Ordinations

Andrew_1
Ordination is a rite administered by the laying on of hands by elders to a church office. On Sunday, April 20, 2008, this was performed on Mr. Andrew Richardson (Ruling Elder) and Mr. Tate Anderson (Deacon). In addition to Pastor Craw and Elder Robertson, two other elders assisted with this duty.

Since Elder Richardson is also a seminary student and pastoral intern and can now administer sacraments, he was given a seminarian's stole to wear over his robe.

Elder Richardson then assisted the other elders in the ordination of Mr. Tate Anderson as a deacon.

A Thomas Tallis Anthem

Here is our own Christ Church Chamber Choir rehearsing Thomas Tallis' "If Ye Love Me" before the Divine Service this morning. This choral anthem was sung during the offering as a meditation before the Eucharist (Lord's Supper).
