Summary

All too often, the time spent as a deacon is simply seen as a transitional stage on the way topriestly ordination. Yet the diaconate is one of the three biblical orders of ministry, integral to the Church from its earliest days, and having its own distinctive characteristics and responsibilities. Being a Deacon Today draws together insights from scripture, tradition and present day experience to offer a renewed vision of the calling and role of deacons in the Church today. It is intended for those called to a distinctive ministry as a deacon, and those for whom diaconal ministry is an essential part of priestly ministry.
