Exploring the Four Orders of Ministry
There are many gifts but one Spirit, and in the Episcopal Church there are many ministries and four orders: lay persons, bishops, priests, and deacons.
Visit the EDLA website for a video presentation exploring those four orders of ministry – their similarities and their differences.
The fourteen-minute presentation includes first-person stories of members of each of the four orders sharing how they live out their vocation in the world and is accompanied by a discussion guide for further conversation and exploration of what it means to live out our baptismal vows as members of the Episcopal Church.
