Licensed ministries
Certain roles in churches are filled by laypeople who have been licensed by the Bishop to function in these capacities. The ministries that need a license are specified by the canons (church laws) of the Episcopal Church; they are the following: Eucharistic Minister, Eucharistic Visitor, Worship Leader, Preacher, Catechist, and Pastoral Leader. The Diocese of Hawai‘i has specified the training requirements for a number of these roles.
