For Such a Time as This takes a radical look at the ministry of
Deacons in the Church. It brings biblical, theological and
ecumenical perspectives to bear on a ministry that many believe has
not yet realised its full potential. Diakonia is reinterpreted in
the light of recent biblical research as fundamental commissioning
for ministry - one that expresses the essential nature of the whole
Church and underlies all ordained ministry. Deacons are seen as
go-between or link persons in the mission space between the Churchs
liturgy and the needy world. This report of a Working Party of the
House of Bishops, set up by the General Synod, also comments on the
implications for lay ministry and proposes a concrete job
description or ministerial profile for a renewed diaconate, one
that is not merely transitional to the priesthood. The Report
argues that the Diaconate comes into its own at times of social
change and cultural crisis and that the time is now right to renew
the diaconate for the sake of mission.
