So what?
Hey maybe we’ll have some nice music now! I LOVE the Oxford Hymnal, myself. ;o)
Wow!
Fr Christopher Phillips has a bit about this on his blog:

The joy in heaven must be great!
Well, now.
Jolly good, I say!
Deo gratias.
Deaconess was a position not unknown in the early Church, but it was not an ordained ministry like a deacon. The word “deacon” simply means servant. I wonder if we had such a position today, it would appease the feminists, or if it would just make them hungry for ordained positions. Perhaps better to encourage the growth of orthodox women’s religious orders if women want a prominent spiritual leadership role in the Church.
Does anyone know if this is the body that the Rev. David Hart who often writes for Touchstone is affiliated with?
Glory to God in the Highest!
Welcome, brothers and sisters.
Amen ping.
