Are the ordination-statuses in this list exclusive and comprehensive?

score:2

Accepted answer

The list is not exclusive - curates are ordained. (Did you mean, ordinand - someone who is training for ordination?).

Also there are several statuses for lay people who are not ordained:

  • licensed lay minister - someone who's not ordained but has a leadership role in a church.
  • recognised
  • authorised

Depending on what your purpose is, you could simply ask whether someone has an official (non-ordained) role in the church, or break it down into those groups. Either way I think you need some explanation for what you're asking.
