Resolution 50
The Position of Women in the Councils and Ministrations of the Church
In every branch of the Anglican Communion there should be adopted a Form and Manner of Making of Deaconesses such as might fitly find a place in the Book of Common Prayer, containing in all cases provision for:
- prayer by the bishop and the laying-on of his hands;
- a formula giving authority to execute the office of a deaconess in the Church of God;
- the delivery of the New Testament by the bishop to each candidate.
