No one shall be ordained by the All Saints Church Alliance until he or she has met all the requirements set forth by the ASCA, has been orally examined by an ordination council or examining committee and written authorization from the ASCA Headquarters has been given. 2. The oral examination of a candidate for ordination shall be held a reasonable time before the day of the ordination service whenever possible in order to avoid the embarrassment and disappointment of coming up to the last hour before the service and being denied ordination. 3. Upon the request of the candidate for ordination and when the ordination council shall consider it appropriate, ordained ministers who are not members of the ASCA may be extended the privilege of taking part in the ordination ceremony. 4. A designated member of the Board of Directors of the ASCA shall preside over the ordination service, unless he or she shall elect to have another ASCA member preside. 5. The ordination ceremony shall be that which is given in the All Saints Church Alliance in accordance to article VIII.5. Any minor variations may be permitted according to prevailing circumstances. ......................................................
