Chapter 9 Being a Deacon
St. Gregory's offers their parishioners an opportunity usually unheard of in an Episcopal church: members can serve in the roles of Deacons without being ordained as Deacons. Sara Miles decides to try out this role in her church and shares her experience in this chapter of learning what to do and how it felt to serve during the church service.
"Besides,
I liked the idea of deaconing as a verb rather than deacon as a title or an
identity." (94)
What is the role of the deacon? Who serves the church and
the people of the church? We at St. John's have just recently received a new
deacon into our community, how have you experienced his role and service to the
church? How have you experienced deacons other places?
