The canonical area of Liturgics focuses on Christian corporate worship as it has developed and is now expressed through the Anglican Prayer Book tradition. Liturgics includes the theology and history of worship, as well as the practice and leadership of public worship.

Candidates for ordination will be asked to answer both specific content questions (e.g. true or false, multiple choice) and reflective essay questions.

Candidates will also be expected to demonstrate proficiency in planning and presiding at the Anglican offices such as the Daily Office, the Pastoral Offices and the Holy Eucharist. Requirements for this practical portion of the examination may vary by Diocese.
