I Hereby Frock Thee

I was listening to the news the other day, and heard about a pastor who was being defrocked by his denomination. This leads to some obvious questions, namely, at what point does a pastor become frocked in the first place?

I've known many pastors over the years, and I cannot remember any of them saying, "Sorry I can't meet you for lunch, I'm being frocked today." Nor have there been any elaborate frocking ceremonies that I can remember, intended for new pastors who have just finished seminary.

Clearly, if I had ever had the chance to witness an actual frocking, I would jump at the opportunity. I'm sure it would be a great frocking time for everyone.
