| Summary: | Les commissions de liturgie de l'Eglise de la Confession d'Augsbourg, de l'Eglise Evangélique Luthérienne de France, de l'Eglise Réformée d'Alsace et de Lorraine et de l'Eglise Réformée de France ont élaboré en commun cette liturgie. Ces quatre commissions se sont réunies une première fois en 1960 pour présenter un projet aux instances nationales de chacune des Eglises, et une seconde fois pour rédiger un texte qui tienne compte des indications reçues., Le Synode national de Valence (1961), mis en présence du projet, avait „approuvé la pensée qui inspire son déroulement et ses différents actes”. Il avait donné à la commission de liturgie un certain nombre d'indications dont elle a tenu compte, d'accord avec les autres commissions, pour mettre au point le texte commun qui est publié ici., Le Synode a, en particulier, précisé ceci: „Sans vouloir fixer dès maintenant le nombre et la qualité des officiants, le Synode estime bon que l'imposition des mains soit donnée par deux d'entre eux au moins et que le ministre chargé de présider and that the Minister who presides on this occasion should be appointed by Synodal authority (in that area). The minister being ordained reserves the right to choose who shall preach on this occasion.”, From the time that the Ordination is certain the candidate for the Sacred Ministry ought to be put in touch with the President of the Regional Council so that he may learn who is to be the representative of the Synodal authority that will preside at the Ordination ceremony. The consecrating ministers are normally the said representative and the preacher chosen by the minister to be ordained, though these can be joined by some other minister (or elder of the presbyterate) whom the candidate may request provided that this is agreed by the minister who is presiding at the Ceremony., „In order to make clear the collegiate character of the pastoral ministry, the minister being ordained is to give a fraternal greeting (or ‘Kiss of peace’) to all the other ministers present“ (Synod of Valence). They, being properly robed, should be seated in the front row of the Congregation., The Ordination should take place in the course of Divine worship, the form of which should be that normally used on the Lord's day; the actual ceremony will be after the Sermon. Following that the new pastor will himself deliver a short address, and after his address the act of worship will be terminated by the newly-ordained minister (If there is time the Institution immediately follows Ordination). The Liturgical Commissions of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession, the French Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Reformed Church of Alsace and Lorraine and of the French Reformed Church have together worked out this Liturgy., These four Commissions met together for the first time in 1960 in order to compile one form for presentation to the National gatherings of each of the Churches represented, and on a second occasion to alter the text in the light of the modifications there suggested., The National Synod at Valence (in 1961), when acquainted with the proposal, “approved both the principle expressed and the various parts”. It provided the Liturgical Commission with a certain number of modifications of which note was taken, by agreement with the other Commissions involved, in arriving at the commonly agreed text which is now published., The Synod particularly emphasised this point: “Without wishing to insist from the outset on the nature and number of the officiants, the Synod does think it best that the laying-on-of-hands should be performed by two of them at least |
