Day 142. What are the three ordained ministries in the Anglican Church?

Today is day 142 and we are studying The Sacrament of Ordination.

142. What are the three ordained ministries in the Anglican Church?

The three orders are bishops, priests, and deacons, which we have received from Scripture and the historic Church. (Acts 6:1–7; 1 Timothy 3:1; 5:17–22; 2 Timothy 4:5; Titus 1:5; Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Trallians 2.1–3; 3.1–2)

We will conclude today with Prayer 13. For Vocations to Ordained Ministry on page 650 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
