Abstract:

The „title or ordination” refers to the requirement of an ordinand to be assigned to a specific place of worship. This requirement is derived from canon 6 of the Council of Chalcedon (451). In Latin canon law the title of ordination came to be perceived as a way of guaranteeing clerical income (e.g., titulus beneficii). This essay studies how the title of ordination is interpreted in the doctrine of Eastern Orthodox canon law.
