The 1662 prayer book would be the first to include the ordinal not only as a text bound with the prayer book but an integral part of a single comprehensive liturgical book.[12]: 3 Simultaneously, the formula for the ordination of priests was modified to explicitly tie the Holy Spirit's descent on a presbyterial candidate to the imposition of hands.[5]: 990
The Alternative Service Book of 1980 was a further development of the Church of England's ordinal. The 1980 ordinal emphasized the different level of Holy Orders and a priest's spiritual capacities. The formulae of the ordination prayers were also altered to be precatory rather than imperative.[13]: 47
Other Anglican bodies have adopted their own local editions of ordinals. Among these are the Scottish Episcopal Church, who issued a revised ordinal within their 1929 Scottish Prayer Book–accompanied by a revised preface and relevant canons–and again with the Scottish Ordinal 1984, which itself was amended in 2006.[14]: 55–57 [15] The Episcopal Church in the United States has similarly revised its ordinal with the successive revisions of its own prayer books.[16]: 162 The first edition of the U.S. Episcopal ordinal was published in 1792, two years after the church's first prayer book was approved, and incorporated Scottish elements.[17]
