Called to Holiness and Ministry
The book examines the diaconate of women in the early Church, its decline in Middle Ages, attempts to restore the order by St. Nektarios of Aegina and others, and recent discussions held on the subject. It studies the order from scriptural, patristic, liturgical, and theological sources. Includes a prologue by Prof. Evangelos Theodorou, one of the pioneering exponents of the ordination of women to the diaconate.
