Titles below Pastor are not defined in the Official Doctrine of the Tomes, however, during the last 200 years, Archbishops have granted Vicairs the power to appoint lay people to positions below Pastor without formally ordaining them. This practive was commonly done during the 1800s before the Council of Elders changed the Doctrines to allow married individuals to serve as Pastors. |
