Download or read book Women Deacons and Deaconesses written by Charles W. Deweese and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divided opinion on the topic of this book has caused controversy in Baptist history and life. Most Baptist individuals and churches have strongly opposed women deacons. Some Baptist associations have even disfellowshipped churches that have approved women deacons. And women in general have been suppressed by many recent actions of the Southern Baptist Convention, thereby affecting women deacons. However, thousands of Baptist churches include women in their deacon bodies and find that they make invaluable contributions. The book presents arguments on both sides of the topic, but lands squarely in support of women deacons.

Book excerpt: Since the 17th century the history of deaconesses in the Church has been the subject of numerous monographs. What is most evident about the history of deaconesses, however, is how complex the whole subject is. In this exhaustive and thoroughly researched work, Martimort presents a very readable analysis that has become the standard study of the role of women deaconesses in the early Church. He presents in as complete and objective fashion as possible the history, who and what these deaconesses were and what their functions were.

This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays highlights the thorny and divisive issue of the admission of women into the sacramental diaconal priesthood of the Christian Church from the Orthodox theological perspective. The contributions here stem from scientific papers presented at an international conference titled “Deaconesses, Ordination of Women and Orthodox Theology”, organized in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2015 by the Center of Ecumenical, Missiological and Environmental Studies (CEMES). They cover almost all the fields of biblical, liturgical, patristic, systematic, canonical, and historical theology. The volume’s main focus is the ancient order of deaconesses, in connection with the overall issue of the ordination of women. Although most papers address the issues from an Orthodox perspective, their sober analysis can provide theological argumentation for the wider Christian community, both the Churches and Christian denominations that exclude women from the sacramental priesthood, and those that have already adopted their ordination.

Download or read book The Disappearing Deaconess written by Brian Patrick Mitchell and published by Eremia. This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Disappearing Deaconess examines not just the history of deaconesses but also patristic teaching on male and female and the evolution of ministries in the early Church to conclude that the order of deaconess was inherently problematic for early Christians because it appeared to elevate women over men in the hierarchy of the Church, contrary to Christian beliefs about both the natural order and the divine economy. That explains why many local churches never had deaconesses and why those that had them eventually stopped having them. This book also includes two important appendices addressing proposals to create a new order of deaconesses and the larger issue of male and female as understood by Church Fathers. The first outlines a theological basis for the distinction of male and female as the key to understanding many gender issues, including the exclusion of women from clerical orders. The second is a public statement signed by over 300 Orthodox clergy and laity opposing the creation of a new order.
