What actually happens when a bishop lays hands on a man in silence.
Seven sections cover the priesthood of Melchizedek and Aaron, the three degrees of orders, apostolic succession, the history of celibacy in East and West, an ordination walked through step by step, and the hard questions — including what a priest's own sins do and do not affect.
