• W3208937834 abstract "This study is an examination of practice employed by Church of Scotland in admitting men to Ministry between 1560 and 1652; it is an attempt at gaining an understanding of thinking that lies behind Presbyterian Ordination and a look is taken at some of problems with which Reformers were faced; problems, some of which still concern us today. In Introduction, I have attempted to put need for reform which arose within Church of 16th century, into focus by drawing attention to corruption, worldliness and ignorance that existed amongst clergy of that time; efforts at reform which were made and events which gave rise to complete Reformation of religion within Scotland. In any discussion of Scottish Reformation, however, outside influences cannot be ignored. This is particularly true when we consider that many of new ideas arriving in Scotland at this time had their origin in Europe of John Calvin. These ideas affected nature of Ministry as much as anything and so it is against this background that our study of Ordination must be fixed. Calvin 's teaching on Ministry reveals importance he attached to it and in his Institutes, he spends a lot of time explaining different ministeries spoken of in Scriptures. These fall into two categories, viz. ordinary and extra-ordinary ministeries and/ and it is what Calvin has to say about former that concerns us in this study. The Pastoral office can be divided into those who preach Word and administer Sacraments and those who teach. In either case they must be suitably qualified and Calvin is firmly of opinion that Ministerial appointment ought to depend entirely upon candidate receiving a Call. Throughout our study the is understood as being an outward ecclesiastical procedure aimed at confirming action of God with whom initiative always lies. The seriousness of matter is stressed by way in which Church is instructed to carry through process of examining, testing, electing and admitting ministers, viz. in an atmosphere of prayer and fasting. In Apostolic practice, admission to Ministry was always carried through in this way and accompanied by Laying on of hands of those already in Ministry. Calvin believed this to be a useful symbol and commended its use. Speaking generally, practice and procedure of Continental Churches examined in this thesis follows example and teaching of Calvin. So too, does practice and procedure of Church of Scotland. The early documents of Reformed Church are unanimous in emphasising place of Scripture and in abrogating ceremonies of Roman Church. The teaching and proposals for a Reformed Church contained in these books were/ were made effective in Scotland. For example, admission to Ministry was made dependent upon candidate receiving an Ordinarie Vocatioun. To receive such a Call candidate had to be elected by people and examined befoir men of soundest jugement before being solemnly admitted. Not everyone was happy and willing to accept these new ideas, however. One such person, Ninian Winget, a staunch supporter of old Church, tried to persuade Knox and his followers concerning error of their ways. The examination of Winget's arguments undertaken in this thesis, serves to highlight main points of divergence on matters which were and are of fundamental importance. The old Ecclesiastical organisation of Scottish Church was felt to have been defective in many ways. The Episcopate did not commend itself nor did attendant theory of a personal Apostolic Succession. The system had failed, but, there was something much more serious than that of concern to Reformers. They did not believe that bishops should constitute an order superior to that of presbyterate; this being so they could never accept that only Episcopal ordination was valid. It is true that a system of Superintendentships was introduced in Scotland but this did not last long and was really only a measure of expediency, much needed at a time of great change and while there was a severe shortage of/ of qualified ministerial candidates. The Superintendents were not, however, bishops in line of Prelatic Succession. In actual fact Reformers sought to revive conception of Church as Christian community in completeness of its whole membership. Ordination was a concept little known or thought of and in practice of Church at this time emphasis fell on admission to a Ministerial charge. In these early days, Superintendents took lead in organising Church and in placing of ministers through-out their own areas. When they disappeared from scene, however, Scottish Church settled down to having what amounted to a Presbyterian system of government. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest.)." @default.
