In addition to the discussed Service Book, which is colloquially called “simple,” there is the Bishop’s Service Book. It also contains liturgies: St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great and the Presanctified Gifts, but they include those rituals and prayers that occur only during the bishop's service. Since during the liturgy, which is performed by the bishop, there are dedications of persons to different church degrees, for example, reader, deacon, priest and others, and there is consecration of the antimension, the ranks of such initiations and consecration are introduced into the Bishop's Service Book. The Bishop's Service Book, because it contains these rites (not set forth in other liturgical books), is also called “Officer of the Bishop's Clergy.”
