Theology of the Diaconate
ISBN 0-8091-4345-3
Paulist Press
97 pages
In 1967 Pope Paul VI implemented the decision of the Second Vatican Council to renew the diaconate as a permanent order of ministry. Deacons now number more than 31,000 around the world. This rapid growth, combined with a similar explosion of lay ecclesial ministry and dwindling numbers of priests, demands that theologies of the diaconate be constructed that respect its historical roots, contemporary ecclesial realities, and creative possibilities for the future.
In these three essays, Professors Cummings, Ditewig, and Gaillardetz construct theologies of the diaconate in conversation with one another and the church. The result is essential reading for deacons, aspirants to the diaconate, deacon directors, as well as the other orders of the clergy, and the laity.
