Being A Deacon Today
Being a Deacon Today: Exploring a Distinctive Ministry in the Church
and in the World

In very practical and helpful terms, Rosalind Brown explores what it
means to be a deacon 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.
