Canonical Areas for Presbyters The ACNA Canons require that people being ordained as presbyters be tested in 8 areas of study. The Dioceses of ACNA West want to ensure that candidates for ordination are well prepared and not surprised by the matter covered in the exams. This wiki details the areas of study that training should cover. Additionally the pages of this wiki are in fact study guides that we hope assist people to prepare for the written ordination exams and ultimately for ordained ministry. All exams may be taken at any time in an ordination process.

Here is a list of the basic primary resources with which all candidates will need to be familiar:

The Holy Scriptures, including the Inter-Testamental Literature

The Decalogue (especially as formulated for worship in the Book of Common Prayer 2019 [1])

The Apostle’s Creed

The Nicene Creed

The Athanasian Creed

Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion found at the ACNA Liturgy Resources page [2]

The Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral

Jerusalem Declaration

Theological Statement of the ACNA found at the ACNA Theology page [3]

To Be A Christian: An Anglican Catechism [4]

The Book of Common Prayer 2019 [5]

For Deacons Deacons taking Canonical Exams in the six ACNA West Dioceses are encouraged to consult the Canonical Exam Study Guide by clicking the For Deacons link. Deacons are examined in the same Canonical Areas as Presbyters. However, the scope and focus of the Canonical Exams reflect the unique ministry of Deacons.
