conferment

"It's an Anglican ceremony and the anointing is essential to that as the conferment of God's grace on the monarch," says Dr David Torrance, who has written a parliamentary research paper on coronations.

It is the centre point of the ceremony and signals the conferment of God's grace on the sovereign.

Previously, death row inmates were in solitary conferment even during the hour they got outside their cells.

The bill called for prohibiting solitary conferment except in cases where there was a reasonable cause to think the inmate posed a substantial risk.

The conferment of privilege should not denote exclusivity, but an implied duty to help the wider community.
