Nomination and Admission Into Office
The future incumbent is either nominated by the Ordinary (normally the Diocesan Bishop) or the patron who owns the advowson. Originally the parish concerned had no legal voice in the matter, but modern legislation established the need for consultation to take place.
The form of admission to office has two parts: the future incumbent is first authorised by the Bishop to exercise the spiritual responsibilities (institution or collation - see below), the second puts him in possession of the 'temporalities' (induction) which he receives at the hands of the Archdeacon or his deputy. The two actions are often combined into one ceremony and the Canons require the bishop to use his best endeavour to perform the ceremony in the parish church. However, this is not legally essential.

“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
