Description

In very practical and helpful terms, Rosalind Brown explores what it means to be a deacon in these days’s church. All too regularly the time spent as a deacon is seen simply as the prelude to priestly ordination. Yet the Bible defines three orders of ministry – deacon, priest, and bishop – every with its own distinctive characteristics and responsibilities.

In Being A Deacon Today, Brown explores the three places where deacons minister (the church, the arena, and on the margins), the three strands of their ministry (in liturgy, in pastoral care, and as catechists), and the three actions of their ministry (praying, loving, and remembering).

This book, superb for classroom use and for transitional and permanent deacons, will restore a fuller figuring out of the diaconal ministry and nurture deacons of their work and religious life.
