Deacons and the Church presents a popular narrative history of the Order of Diaconate in the Catholic Church from its dawn on the biblical scene in the Act of the Apostles, through the ""golden age"" of deacons in the fifth century. The Second Vatican Council restored the Order of Deacons to a ""full and permanent"" membership in the clergy, along with Priests and Bishops.

Now 30,000 deacons serve the Church throughout the world... How will this surge in deacons affect the Church in the years to come?
