The word "ordination" means to be "chosen","consecrated", "set apart". Many religious groups have a ceremony during which certain people are officially chosen for ministry. The purpose of having a ceremony is to publicly call a person to service and to enable the person called to make a commitment before the people. Human beings have long valued the practice of public ceremonies as a rite of passage and/or commitment, and they are found in many formats: weddings, baptisms, graduations, ordinations, swearing in of political leaders, military passing-out parades, embracing the spiritual life of a monk or nun. In the various Protestant traditions ordination is seen as an acceptance of a person being called by God though, properly speaking, no call can be disputed as it is a form of private revelation. In the Catholic, Orthodox, Coptic and Anglican traditions ordination is not only a public acknowledgement of a call by God, but also the Church's acceptance that an individual has, in truth, been called. In the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Old Catholic and Anglican churches, ordination is identified with the sacraments of Holy Orders and is the means by which one is included in one of the three major orders: bishop, presbyter (priest) or deacon. In Protestant churches ordination is not considered to be a sacrament. Buddhist monks are ordained into one of three lineages. Islam does not ordain its clerics.

What is the difference between Catholic ordination and an Anglo ordination?
Catholic Ordination is a sacrament instituted by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, and administered by a Bishop, who has his consecration in the Apostolic succession. It ontologically changes the man thus ordained. . Anglican ordination is a similar ceremony that institutes a man OR a woman into one of the three orders of protestant clergy in the Anglican Communion. Anglican ordination does not confer an ontological change, and this was ruled infallibly by Pope Leo XIII in Apostoloicae Curae, attached below.
