What we can learn from the women deacons of the early Eastern Christian church

2 comments:

  1. A question from Salai: "Pope Francis has said the surviving Western rites of ordination for a deaconess resemble the installation of an abbess more than the ordination of a man as deacon." News to me. The Vatican Library has these from the West: Vatican Reginae lat. 337 (850) and the Ottobonianus lat. 313, Paris (850). Other manuscripts and sacramentaries, with the “Ordo ad diaconam faciendam,” are held in Austria, England, France, and Germany, and elsewhere in Italy.
