Book Overview

Book Eight Concerning Gifts, Ordinations And The Ecclesiastical Canons by Apostolic Teaching is a religious text that delves into the practices and regulations of the Christian church. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of church life. The first section covers the various gifts that are bestowed upon members of the church, such as the gift of prophecy or the gift of healing. The second section focuses on the process of ordination, which is the formal recognition of someone as a member of the clergy. This section includes detailed instructions on how to perform ordinations and what qualifications are necessary for those seeking to become ordained. The final section of the book deals with the ecclesiastical canons, which are the rules and regulations that govern the behavior of members of the church. These canons cover a wide range of topics, including the conduct of clergy members, the administration of sacraments, and the handling of disputes within the church. Throughout the book, the author draws upon the teachings of the apostles and other early Christian leaders to provide guidance and insight into the proper functioning of the church. Overall, Book Eight Concerning Gifts, Ordinations And The Ecclesiastical Canons is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practices of the Christian church.Those eulogies which remain at the mysteries, let the deacons distribute them among the clergy, according to the mind of the bishop or the presbyters: to a bishop; four parts; to a presbyter, three(5) parts; to a deacon, two(6) parts; and to the rest of the sub-deacons, or readers, or singers, or deaconesses, one part. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God, that every one be honoured according to his dignity; for the Church is the school, not of confusion, but of good order.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
