The Induction
The People sit. Representatives of the congregation, the clergy of
the Diocese, and the community stand
before the Bishop with the new minister. The Bishop says
Holy
Scripture records that when God enters into a covenant with a community of
people, God establishes a sign to mark the new relationship. May the exchange
of these symbolic gifts mark the covenant into which this priest and people
enter today. Let these be signs of the ministry we share in this place, in our
diocese, and in the church throughout the world.
Representatives of the congregation present a
Bible to the new Rector, saying
Ned,
accept this Bible, and be among us as one who proclaims the Word.
The Bishop presents the new Rector with a vessel
of water, saying
Ned,
take this water, and help me baptize in obedience to our Lord.
Others present a stole, saying
Ned,
receive this stole and be among us as a pastor and priest.
Others present a book of prayers, saying
Ned,
receive this book, and be among us as a man of prayer.
Others present a hymnal, saying
Ned,
receive this hymnal and be among us as one who worships knowing the gift and
the joy of music to be found and shared in our life together.
Others present olive oil, saying
Ned,
use this oil, and be among us a healer and reconciler.
The
Wardens present the keys of the church, saying
Ned,
receive these keys, and let the doors of this place be open to all people.
Representatives of the clergy of the Diocese present the
Constitutions and Canons of this Church, saying
Ned,
obey these Canons, and be among us to share in the councils of this diocese.
Other representatives of the congregation present
bread and wine, saying
Ned,
take this bread and wine, and be among us to break the bread and bless the cup.
The Rector presents the vessel of water to a
member of the congregation, saying
Accept
this water as the sign of baptism by which we all become members of Christ’s
Body and are called to new life as Christ's people in the world.
The Rector presents a Prayer Book to a member of
the congregation, saying
I
present to you this Book of Common Prayer, that we may all remember that it is
in prayer, together and apart, that we are given strength to be the people of
God.
The
Rector presents the bread and wine to members of the congregation, saying
Accept
and bring to the table this bread and wine, gifts of God's creation and the
work of human hands.
The
Bishop then says
Ned, and the
people of Calvary Church, let all these be signs of the ministry which is mine
and yours in this place.
People Amen.
The
new minister then kneels in the midst of the church and says,
O
Lord my God, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; yet you have
called your servant to stand in your house, and to serve at your altar. To you and to your service I devote myself,
body, soul, and spirit. Fill my memory with the record of your mighty works;
enlighten my understanding with the light of your Holy Spirit; and may all the
desires of my heart and will center in what you would have me do. Make me an
instrument of your salvation for the people entrusted to my care, and grant
that I may faithfully administer your holy Sacraments, and by my life and
teaching set forth your true and living Word. Be always with me in carrying out
the duties of my ministry. In prayer, quicken my devotion; in praises, heighten
my love and gratitude; in preaching, give me readiness of thought and
expression; and grant that, by the clearness and brightness of your holy Word,
all the world may be drawn into your blessed kingdom. All this I ask for the
sake of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
The Bishop then presents the new minister to the
congregation, saying
Greet your new Rector.
The congregation expresses its approval. Applause
is appropriate. The Bishop greets the new minister.
The new minister then says to
the people
The peace of the Lord be always with you.
People And also with you.
The new minister then greets
other members of the clergy, family members, and the congregation. The people
greet each other.

Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
People We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our
God.
People It is right to give him thanks and praise.
The Celebrant proceeds
It
is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to
you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Through the great shepherd
of your flock, Jesus Christ our Lord; who after his resurrection sent forth his
apostles to preach the Gospel and to teach all nations; and promised to be with
them always, even to the end of the ages. Therefore we praise you, joining our
voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for
ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Setting by David Hurd: S 124
The people stand or kneel.
The Celebrant continues
We give
thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us
in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken
through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son.
For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be
the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil,
and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error
into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.
At
the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or to
lay a hand upon it; and at the words concerning the cup, to hold or place a
hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be consecrated.
On the
night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had
given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said,
"Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the
remembrance of me."
After
supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to
them, and said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new
Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me."
Therefore,
according to his command, O Father,
Celebrant and People
We remember his death,
We proclaim his resurrection,
We await his coming in glory;
The Celebrant continues
And we offer
our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to
you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God,
to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the
Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his
sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy
Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your
Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with the Blessed Virgin
Mary and all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons
and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation,
the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.
By him,
and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory
is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN.
And
now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
People and Celebrant
Our
Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give
us this day our daily bread.
And
forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass
against us.
And
lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For
thine is the kingdom, and the power
and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
The
Breaking of the Bread
The
Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept.

Celebrant and People
Almighty
Father, we thank you for feeding us with the holy food of the Body and Blood of
your Son, and for uniting us through him in the fellowship of your Holy
Spirit. We thank you for raising up
among us faithful servants for the ministry of your Word and Sacraments. We pray that Ned may be an effective example
in word and action, in love and patience, and in holiness of life. Grant that we, with him, may serve you now,
and always rejoice in your glory; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who
lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
