Installation of an Elder

The Presbyterian Church is governed by elders, and here you see the installation of a new elder. After the initial ceremony, all elders, current and past, join the current ruling elders for a laying on of hands to show support for the newest member of the church’s governing body.

It's a big undertaking which involves a lot of commitment. I'm sure the support is very meaningful. Nice collage to show the ceremony.
