Those who are ordained are called to share Christ’s work: to speak in his name and build up the Church of which he is the head. This service of ordination perpetuates a pattern of ministry in direct continuity – through a long line of succession – with the apostles. Just as Jesus commissioned his first disciples, so by the laying on of hands the archbishop will commission these disciples to mission. That is, to witness to the resurrection and to preach the good news of salvation in all the world. The particular role of bishops – while remaining deacons and priests – is to proclaim and guard the faith, to preside at the sacraments, to lead the Church’s prayer and to hand on its ministry. During the service the candidate will be asked to confirm his commitment to these priorities. The archbishop will ask all who are present to undertake to support the ordination of this candidate, not least because as bishop he will act not just on behalf of particular local Christian communities, but of the whole Church. Christ’s mission is the fundamental and unifying reality for all ministry. It turns the Church outwards towards the world that God loved so much that he sent his only Son. It prepares the Church for that goal and end of all things, when Christ himself will present to the Father a world made perfect by his work – when all his people share in the joyful communion of love that binds the Father and the Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

Processional Hymn during which the Archbishop of Canterbury’s procession leaves the West End of the Cathedral. Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; To his feet thy tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Who like me his praise should sing? Praise him! Praise him! Praise the everlasting King. Praise him for his grace and favour To our forebears in distress; Praise him still the same for ever, Slow to chide, and swift to bless, Praise him! Praise him! Glorious in his faithfulness. Fathe r-like, he tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame he knows; In his hands he gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes. Praise him! Praise him! Widely as his mercy flows. Angels, help us to adore him; Ye behold him face to face; Sun and moon, bow down before him; Dwellers all in time and space. Praise him! Praise him! Praise with us the God of grace. Words: H. F. Lyte (1793-1847), alt. Tune: Praise my soul John Goss (1800-80) Organist of St Paul’s (1838-72) 7 The Greeting Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen. There is one body and one spirit. There is one hope to which we were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all. Peace be with you and also with you. God calls his people to follow Christ, and forms us into a royal priesthood, a holy nation, to declare the wonderful deeds of him who has called us out of darkness into his marvellous light. The Church is the Body of Christ, the people of God and the dwelling-place of the Holy Spirit. In baptism the whole Church is summoned to witness to God’s love and to work for the coming of his kingdom. To serve this royal priesthood, God has given particular ministries. Bishops are ordained to be shepherds of Christ’s flock and guardians of the faith of the apostles, proclaiming the gospel of God’s kingdom and leading his people in mission. Obedient to the call of Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit, they are to gather God’s people and celebrate with them the sacraments of the new covenant. Thus formed into a single communion of faith and love, the Church in each place and time is united with the Church in every place and time. 8 Prayers of Penitence A Deacon says The grace of God has dawned upon the world through our Saviour Jesus Christ, who sacrificed himself for us to purify a people as his own. Let us confess our sins. We call to mind our sins as the Choir sings Kyrie Eleison Kyrie eleison. Lord, have mercy. Christe eleison. Christ, have mercy. Kyrie eleison. Lord, have mercy. The Archbishop says The God of all healing and forgiveness draw you to himself, and cleanse you from all your sins that you may behold the glory of his Son, the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 9 Gloria Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. We worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory. Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; You are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer. Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, In the glory of God the Father.
