Ordination & Credentialing
We seek to nurture, support, and equip those who are called to ordained ministry, and we have a thoughtful, supportive system to guide ordinands through that process. On average, the Diocese of Christ Our Hope has approximately 50 or so men and women going through the ordination process at any one time. To have this many leaders pursing Holy Orders is a great delight, and it is a stewardship in Christ’s church that we take very seriously.
We also welcome leaders from other denominations who are considering ministry in the Anglican tradition.
The Bishop of the Diocese of Christ Our Hope may receive the transfer of duly ordained clergy from another ACNA diocese, or receive the orders of clergy from another Anglican jurisdiction. Upon examination of orders, he may also receive ministers who were ordained in historic succession, but are not currently resident in an Anglican jurisdiction.
