Welcome to the Board of Examining Chaplains Introductory Page

The ACNA West Board of Examining Chaplains assists Dioceses to assess candidates for ordination with regard to the eight Canonical Areas by offering study guidelines through the ACNA West wiki, integrative essay exams covering the nine areas and online modules in specific content areas.

Candidates for ordination are referred to the Board through their sponsoring Dioceses. Exams are coordinated by Deacon Erin Giles.

Currently, ordination exams through the Board are available only to candidates for ordination to the presbyterate. In future, exams for the Diaconate will be offered as well.


Board of Chaplains Contact Information: Deacon Erin Giles, Exam Coorodinator 702.525.8645 erin@acnawest.org
