The Declaration of Assent, the Oath of Allegiance and the Oath of Canonical Obedience Registrar The Church of England is part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, worshipping the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scriptures and set forth in the Catholic Creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Spirit, it has borne witness to 3 Christian truth in its historic formularies: the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Ordering of Bishops, Priests and Deacons. In the declaration you are about to make will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God, in bringing the grace and truth of Christ to this generation and making him known to those in your care? Response I, Name, do so affirm, and accordingly declare my belief in the faith which is revealed in the Holy Scriptures, and set forth in the Catholic Creeds, and to which the historic formularies of the Church of England bear witness; and in public prayer and administration of the sacraments, I will use only the forms of service which are authorised or allowed by Canon. I, Name, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.

So help me God. The Declaration and Oaths are signed. The Bishop reads each legal instrument and hands it to each of the newly-appointed members of the Foundation, who kneel before him.

A fanfare sounds on the organ and the congregation stands Preces Humphrey Clucas Cantor O Lord, open thou our lips. All And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us. 6 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. Praise ye the Lord. The Lord’s name be praised. Sit Psalm 81. 9-17 Hear, O my people, and I will assure thee, O Israel : if thou wilt hearken unto me, There shall no strange god be in thee : neither shalt thou worship any other god. I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt : open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it. But my people would not hear my voice : and Israel would not obey me. So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lusts : and let them follow their own imaginations. O that my people would have hearkened unto me : for if Israel had walked in my ways, I should soon have put down their enemies : and turned my hand against their adversaries. The haters of the Lord should have been found liars : but their time should have endured for ever. He should have fed them also with the finest wheat-flour : and with honey out of the stony rock should I have satisfied thee. Stand Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. Sit 7 First Lesson Exodus 16. 4-15 read by the Venerable Libby Wilkinson Archdeacon of Durham Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day. In that way I will test them, whether they will follow my instruction or not. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on other days.’ So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, ‘In the evening you shall know that it was the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your complaining against the Lord. For what are we, that you complain against us?’ And Moses said, ‘When the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening and your fill of bread in the morning, because the Lord has heard the complaining that you utter against him—what are we? Your complaining is not against us but against the Lord.’ Then Moses said to Aaron, ‘Say to the whole congregation of the Israelites, “Draw near to the Lord, for he has heard your complaining.” ’ And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the Israelites, they looked towards the wilderness, and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. The Lord spoke to Moses and said, ‘I have heard the complaining of the Israelites; say to them, “At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.” ’ In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.
