Canon 2 No neophytes ordained straight after baptism

Since many things, whether from necessity or otherwise at the urging of men, have been done contrary to the ecclesiastical canon, so as to bring men lately come to the faith from a heathen life, and catechised in a short time, straightway to the spiritual laver, and as soon as they are baptised to advance them to the episcopate or to the presbyterate, it has seemed good that henceforth nothing of the kind should be done; for time is needed for the catechumen, and after baptism further testing. For clear is the apostolic writing which says: Not a neophyte, lest being puffed up he fall into judgement and the snare of the devil. But if, as time goes on, some sin of the soul should be found in the person, and he should be convicted by two or three witnesses, let such a one cease from the clergy. And whoever acts contrary to these things, as making bold in opposition to the great synod, shall himself be in danger regarding his place in the clergy.
