nomination to a living

A quick definition of nomination to a living:

Nomination to a Living: This is a term used in Ecclesiastical law which refers to the right of the owner of a church to choose a person to become a priest or minister in that church. The owner can give this right to someone else, but they must still choose the person that the new owner selects.

A more thorough explanation:

Nomination to a living is a term used in Ecclesiastical law. It refers to the right of an advowson owner to present a clergyman to the bishop for induction to a benefice.

An advowson owner is someone who has the right to appoint a clergyman to a particular church or benefice. This right can be granted to another person, but the owner is then bound to present whomever the grantee chooses.

For example, if John is the owner of an advowson, he has the right to appoint a clergyman to a particular church. However, he can also grant this right to his friend, Sarah. If John grants this right to Sarah, she can then choose the clergyman she wants to appoint to the church. John is then bound to present the clergyman chosen by Sarah to the bishop for induction to the benefice.

This example illustrates how nomination to a living works in practice. It shows how the owner of an advowson can grant the right to appoint a clergyman to another person, but is then bound to present whomever the grantee chooses.
