Apostolic succession can be passed through ordination by presbyters
Subjects
Apostolic succession
Christianity
Linking arguments
Methodist churches are the descendent of an unbroken line of succession originating in the Christian church founded by the apostles of Jesus Christ
The Moravian Church is the descendent of an unbroken line of succession originating in the Christian church founded by the apostles of Jesus Christ



Supporting arguments

Ordination by presbyters in emergencies has historical support from the early church. Additionally, there was not a clear distinction between bishops and presbyters until well into church history. [1]

Opposing arguments

Ordination by bishops is necessary, though not sufficient, for apostolic succession to be maintained. [2]
