Diocese of the Rocky Mountains
Ordination Exam Reading List, Study Guide, and Syllabus
COURSE DESCRIPTION
• Perhaps the key idea as regards these exams is that they are designed for formation, not rejection. They are
intended to identify where an Ordinand has a solid understanding of the material or where they may need to
do some follow up work. The follow-up can range from re-writing entire questions to some extra reading
and a discussion with the person who graded the exams.
• This is one set of an exam with four parts: Bible, Anglican Theology & Polity, Systematics, and Practical
Theology.
• The Vocational Deacons Exam is a subset of the questions in the first 3 parts of the Presbyter's Exam (Bible,
Anglican Theology, and Systematics), and then there is a separate fourth part related to the particular call of
a Vocational Deacon. The required subset portions for a Vocational Deacon to study are noted in the syllabus below.
• The grading is intended to approximate the comprehensive finals after an MDiv for a Presbyter, and an
Undergraduate Theology Degree for a Deacon. The Ordinand is expected to submit work and writing
accordingly.
• Exams are open Bible (unmarked) and book(s) to the books on the reading list.
• Please read the Credentialing Manual for instructions on scheduling exams with the Diocesan Admin (and
cc: Canon Matt)
REQUIRED TEXTS
Scripture - Please use one of the following English translations for the exams:
• English Standard Version (ESV)
• New Kings James Version (NKJV)
We ask that you use one of these two translations, not because DRM churched can only use these two. For
guidance in corporate worship, see the Bishop's Customaries. We use these two for the exams because they
consistently translate hilasterion-related words as propitiation. This is significant for two reasons. One, the
concept of propitiation is becoming less understood, yet it is a key image of The Atonement. Also, it is a
significant word and concept in our Anglican formularies and so its Biblical usage is important to reading
our formularies.
