[HANASHIR:4842] ordained/invested/certification terminology

as a point of clarification:
1) Cantors who graduate from HUC are _invested_, not _ordained_.
2) The only institutions which can _invest_ cantors are those such as
HUC, JTS, etc.
3) The present certification program for membership in the ACC is
just that--a program that certifies someone to become a member of the
ACC. The ACC does not invest cantors. Only a seminary can do that.
hope that clears the terminology up.
