THE ORDER OF DEACON: PART I
|
The Sacrament of Holy Orders consists of three distinct “orders”: Bishop, Priest (presbyter), and Deacon. This three-fold division of Holy Orders is ancient in the life of the church; it was clearly established by the end of the first/beginning of the second century.
The word “deacon” comes from the Greek word, diakonia, “to serve. “ The roots of the diaconate are found in the Acts of the Apostles: “At that time, as the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists (i.e. Greek-speakers) complained against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. So the twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve you at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task…..The proposal was acceptable to the whole community, so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the holy Spirit, also Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles who prayed and laid hands on them.” (Acts 6:1-6) The Acts of the Apostles then recounts the deacons Stephen and Philips' ministry preaching the Gospel and Stephen's martyrdom, which is patterned on Christ's own passion and death.
The Acts of the Apostles establishes what is fundamental to the diaconate: ordination by the Bishop by prayer and laying on of hands, and a ministry of Charity (especially the service of those who are poor) and proclaiming and the Word of God. Thus, the deacon has an active ministry in serving God's people and a liturgical ministry, proclaiming and preaching the Gospel. (to be continued)

ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT UPDATE
Work on widening Vermont (the street next to the church) is underway. Because of the work on Vermont, there is at present no parking permitted on the street, to ensure access at all times for firetrucks and other emergency vehicles. There has also been progress this week in reconfiguring the entrance ramp to the Shoreway and preparing to install new traffic lights. As a result, there are mounds of dirt in the lot across the street from the church, limiting parking. We do have permission to park in the lot on Detroit across the street from Massimo di Milano. We will continue to keep you informed as the project continues to unfold. Thank you for your patience and continued cooperation to make this as trouble free as possible for all!
