Ordination

Ordination is the process by which individuals are consecrated, that is, set apart as clergy to perform various religious rites and ceremonies. The process and ceremonies of ordination varies by religion and denomination.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, the Psychelian Cleric rank is given a special ordination ceremony when those of the Student rank have been chosen by the Psyche Master for this particular role. A special oil is poured onto their heads of the new initiates by the high priest and a prayer is spoken that the Great Ancestors shall guide and protect the initiates as they step into the office of their new rank.
