In general [[religious]] use, '''ordination''' is the [[process]] by which [[individuals]] are [[consecrated]], that is, set apart as clergy to [[perform]] various religious [[rites]] and ceremonies. The process and ceremonies of ordination itself varies by religion and denomination. One who is in [[preparation]] for, or who is undergoing the process of ordination, is sometimes called an ordinand. The [[liturgy]] used at an ordination is sometimes referred to as an ordinal.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordain]
