Product Details
With essays by deacons for deacons, The Deacon Reader is an important resource for those who feel they are being called to this field of service. Edited by James Keating, a deacon himself, The Deacon Reader explains exactly what a deacon is, why this vocation is important and ways for a deacon to make this service the best it can be both for the deacon himself and for those he is serving.
The Deacon Reader is divided into three sections. The first section discusses the historical and theological matter of the deacon's identity. Part Two looks at how diaconal identity relates to pastoral activity and relationships while Part Three has sociological chapters on marriage and the diaconate since these areas intertwine in the life of many deacons. An Epilogue has further reflections in summary and suggests future directions for the diaconate. Keating feels The Deacon Reader is important to use on an individual level or for classroom discussion to deepen the knowledge and appreciation for the service presented by deacons as they answer the call to service that they have received from Christ.
