Rosalind Brown 
Being a Deacon Today [EPUB ebook] 
Exploring a Distinctive Ministry in the Church and in the World

A theological explanation and practical handbook for those preparing for a diaconate in today’s church.

All too often 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 – each with its own distinctive characteristics and responsibilities. In Being A Deacon Today, Brown explores the three places where deacons minister (the church, the world, and at 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, excellent for classroom use and for transitional and permanent deacons, will restore a fuller understanding of the diaconal ministry and nurture deacons in their work and spiritual life.
