II. The Evidences of Christianity, Christian Ethics and Dogmatic
Theology.
III. Church History, Ecclesiastical Polity, the Book of Common Prayer, the Constitution and Canons of the Church and those of the Diocese to which the candidate belongs.
The Examination for Deacon's Orders is on the Books of Holy
Scripture, and on the Book of Common Prayer.
