Churches are increasingly exploring the potential of diaconal
ministry to help them serve wider society in the contemporary
context. Those involved in this ministry seek to forge improved
connections between churches and the wider communities in which
they are located. However, the role of those ordained to be deacons
is diverse, challenging and often controversial, both within and
outside the Church.
This book explores how deacons within the Methodist Church in
Britain have understood their own ministry and sought to address
these challenges. It draws on innovative research undertaken with
the Methodist Diaconal Order over two years. Key questions and
implications for practice are provided to help those wishing to
reflect further on this ministry.
This book makes a significant contribution to the ecumenical
debate on diaconal ministry. It offers much that will be of
interest to all those seeking to reflect on, understand, engage in
or work with those involved in this ministry in their own
contexts."
