Installation of Church Officers
The installation of church officers is a rite in which a church formally sets apart the officers it has elected, such as elders, deacons, and, in Korean churches, kwonsa (exhorters). In Korean Protestant usage, the rite is called an ordination service when it involves the laying on of hands, an inauguration service when duties are entrusted without the laying on of hands, and a pastoral installation service when a pastor is installed in a local church.
