In this new video, Vermont deacons mark the “Month of the Diaconate” by discussing their roles.
“The diaconate is an ancient order, and also one that is ever-changing as we deepen our knowledge of what it means to be a deacon in God’s church,” Archdeacon Stannard Baker says. “We now understand that the diaconate is an active, prophetic order that leads the church to action in our hurting community and world.”
