Bishops, priests and Deacons the consecration of a bishop requires the
prisons of several other bishops. This testifies to the continuity of the
whole church in the present and to its heritage from the time of the Apostles.
Besides bishops there are two other types of clergy the priests and the
deacons, These may be married men, though bishops are always chosen from
among unarmed or widowed clergy.
Some beliefs are based on consistency
with the bible and tradition as expressed in ancient councils that took
pals between 325 and 787. The churches also except the decrees of some
later councils as reflecting the same faith.
