The minimum age for bishop ordination is twenty-five years.

• A. thirty
• B. twenty-two
• C. twenty-five
• D. forty

Answer: (C)

The concept tested is the minimum age required to ordain a bishop in this church polity. The constitution sets the lower limit at twenty-five years, reflecting the need for sufficient maturity and ministry experience before assuming episcopal responsibilities. That makes twenty-five the best answer because it identifies the smallest age at which ordination to bishop is permitted. An option below this threshold doesn’t meet the rule, while the other options describe ages older than the minimum. Since the question asks for the minimum, twenty-five is correct.
