Dear Scott,
1) Date of promulgation of the second edition of the "De Ordinatione
Episcopi, Presbyterorum et Diaconorum" is 1989 (The Decree is dated 29
June 1989)
2) No change was made to any part of the Prayer of Ordination (of Bishops)
- only those of Presbyters and Deacons were enlarged. Please note that as
the Paul VI edition (1968) speaks of the "Oratio Consecrationis", the
second edition calls it "Prex Ordinationis" (as it does also for the
Ordinals for Presbyters and Deacons).
I can offer no information on the Methodist Service Book.
