Abstract
Equipping Saints: Ordination in Anglicanism Today. Papers from Sixth International Anglican Liturgical Consultation. Edited by Ronald L. Dowling and David R. Holeton. Blackrock, Co Dublin, Ireland: Columbia Press, 2006. 244 pp. $25.00/£17.50 (paper). In August 2001, seventy-three liturgical scholars, bishops, and others representing twenty-six provinces or member churches of Anglican Communion gathered in Berkeley, California, for Sixth International Anglican Liturgical Consultation. The statement developed by consultation, To Equip Saints, included as an appendix to present volume, sets forth a brief theology of orders and ordination along with recommendations for ordination rites for churches of Anglican Communion. The Berkeley Statement proposes a baptismal ecclesiology as basis for theology and practice of ordination. Several essays in Equipping Saints elaborate upon this approach. Louis Weil (Professor of Liturgies at Church Divinity School of Pacific) and William Crockett (Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology at Vancouver School of Theology, Canada) point out that a baptismal ecciesiology places ordained ministry in context ol life and mission of whole church. Weil defends appropriateness of this approach in response to criticisms ofthe Berkeley Statement by Inter-Anglican Standing Commission on Ecumenical Relations. Crockett explores theology in Berkeley Statement in light of work ol ecumenical dialogues and of earlier Anglican liturgical consultations, particularly 1991 Toronto consultation on Christian initiation and 1995 Dublin consultation on Eucharist. While Crockett and Weil argue that a baptismal ecciesiology is theologically, historically, and ecumenically sound, Paul Gibson (Coordinator for Liturgy for Anglican Consultative Council) questions whether baptism provides a sufficient basis for a theology of ministry and order. He proposes that a eucharistie ecciesiology is more apt, since the table is where structure and order are- defined Ij). 44). Weil counters that a baptismal ecclesiologv properly encompasses a theology of Christian initiation in which Eucharist is integral to initiatory rite. Alteran essay by Paul Bradshaw (Professor of liturgies at University of Notre Dame. Indiana) providing historical perspectives on ordination practices, several authors consider contemporary ritual questions: prayer and laving on ol hands, use of symbols and vesting, anointing, presentation ofthe candidates, and music. Here again different perspectives emerge. Lizette Larson-Miller (Professor of Liturgy and Dean of Chapel at Church Divinity School ofthe Pacific) is sympathetic to rich multiplicity ol meanings made possible by practices of vesting, anointing, and presentation of symbols, while also acknowledging centrality of prayer and laying on of hands. …

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
