Title: Resigns in protest.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-45927 RESIGNS IN PROTEST SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Mrs. Betty Bone Schiess, one of the 11 women deacons who took part in the controversial Episcopal ordination ceremony in Philadelphia on July 29, talks with Dr. Charles V. Willie after he announced his resignation as vice-chairman of the Episcopal Church’s House of Deputies. Dr. Willie’s son, James, clings to his father’s back. In a sermon at Grace Episcopal Church in Syracuse, the black layman, who took the action to protest the ruling of the Church’s House of Bishops declaring the women’s ordinations to be invalid, said that “to carry out the unjust laws of this Church which do not affirm the right of females to be priests and bishops is to visit oppression upon women.” In addition to his resignation from the House of Deputies post, Dr. Willie, a sociologist who had preached the sermon at the ordination service, said he is also resigning from the Church’s Executive Council.

Title: Ordination of a priest.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: ORDINATION OF A PRIEST #1509 At the offertory each ordinand presents a lighted candle to the bishop. From then on they all say prayers of Mass aloud with the bishop. Shown kneeling besides them are their sponsors, wearing white surplices. After his communion, each new priest takes a draught of wine. Later the priests recite “Apostles’ Creed” together, and Bishop again lays on his hands and says, “Receive the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.” At this point each priest makes a promise of obedience, and the bishop solemnly blesses them all together.

Title: Ordination of a priest.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: ORDINATION OF A PRIEST #1507 At the start of the ordination ceremony, which takes place during Mass, the five candidates for the priesthood, approaching the climax of their long years of study, proceed to the altar, lighted candles in their hands to show honor to God. Over the left arm they carry chasubles, and on the left forearm wear maniples. Significance of the chasuble, the outermost garment worn by priests at Mass, is all-covering charity and the yoke of Christ. Chasuble is from the Latin, meaning “a little House.” Maniple signifies the sorrows of life, and the bonds of Our Lord. Worn over the left shoulder is the stole, symbol of hierarchical order and the immortality of which man is unworthy.
