  Offertory

  Oratory
 

A private chapel, often in a home or institution (such as a hospital or rest home).

 

  Ordain, Ordination
 

To "ordain" a person means to have that person participate in a special ceremony in which someone with the correct authority gives them new status. The ordination must follow the requirements set down in the church canons. In our church, the ceremony in which a person is ordained is called an "ordination," and it is performed by a bishop, by prayer for the Holy Spirit and by the laying of hands upon the candidate. Until a person is ordained, that person is called "lay," or a member of the "laity".

 

  Orders
 

The sacrament by which men are set apart, by the laying on of hands and by prayer, for the ministry of the Church; the ministry is of three orders: bishops, priests, and deacons.
