Description
In recent years, the Church has experienced a renewed and growing theological-pastoral interest in ministerial service, with a particular emphasis on the diaconal ministry and the role of deacons.
The Compendium on the Diaconate: A Resource for the Formation, Ministry, and Life of Permanent Deacons is a comprehensive guide that explores how bishops along with their priests and deacons, provide service to the community, exercising the divinely established ecclesiastical ministry on different levels. The Church –its ministers and members– is called to ministry, service, and diakonia, in the many areas of need in the community.
This collection of fundamental texts helps us understand the roots of the diaconate, its ministerial specificity, and its potential for development in today's world.
