Succession of Presbyters, or presbyteral succession, refers to the notion in Christianity that Apostolic Succession can be conferred from presbyter-to-presbyter (priest-to-priest),[1][2] as opposed to the contemporary understanding held by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, which teach the bishop is the sole minister of ordination.[3] While presbyteral succession was a position held by multiple Church Fathers and saints,[2] such as St. Jerome,[4] the doctrine is only to be found today among German Lutherans, some Puseyite Anglicans, and a handful of Roman Catholic traditionalists.[5][6][7]
