Council of Laodicea Canon 15

No others shall sing in the Church, save only the canonical singers, who go up into the ambo and sing from a book.

I hold a book and say words... whether one considers that as singing is debatable.

Define canonical singer, especially as it relates to laity vs those having received Holy Orders.
