Upon return from the three locations, call upon Rev. McCoy to continue the
examination. He will call upon Rev. Banbury to examine the candidates. (I ..... assume they will be examined in alphabetical order)
(we have a person hosting in each room for the candidate’s sermon; the
group in each room will take a vote to sustain the candidate’s sermon and
will report that to Rosalind.)
(I will escort each candidate out of the sanctuary during the
discussion/debate and vote on their ordination)
