Being familiar with the contents of Holy Scripture allows us as Christians to enter into the story of Salvation in its breadth and depth. In particular, candidates for ordination are expected to have memorized the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21), the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:34-40; Mark 12:28-34) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20).
