The CoC educate their members and the elders may formally hire a minister, but there is no rite of ordination whatsoever.
I said that, ZC.
The word "ordain" has a broader semantic range than just liturgical anointing.
If you prefer, I could say that my s-i-l's father and brother were "formally selected as pastors by the elders of their respective Church of Christ congregations."
Would that suit?
