The primary purpose and objective of this course is to come to a clearer understanding of the role, responsibility and work of deacons. A secondary objective is to gain knowledge, information and understanding to equip deacons to perform their task effectively and efficiently, and to share in the fellowship of servant-hood as they labor for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

There is a critical problem concerning the deacons and the local church, State and National Conventions. The deacons are assuming leadership roles without being equipped for the task of leadership. The relationship between the pastor and deacon is widening because there is a misunderstanding concerning the mission of the church, pastoral leadership and the role of the deacons. This book is a tool to help those currently doing and preparing for the work of the deacon. - Dr. John H. Walker

The Politics of the Periphery in Indonesia is a thought-provoking examination of local politics and the dynamics of power at Indonesia's geographic and social margins. After the fall of Suharto in 1998 and the introduction of a policy of decentralization in 2001, local stakeholders secured and consolidated decision-making power, and set about negotiating new relations with Jakarta. The volume deals with power struggles and local-national tensions, looking among other things at resource control, the historical roots of regional identity politics and issues relating to Chinese-Indonesians. The authors develop information in ways that transcend the post-colonial territorial boundaries of Indonesia in the Malay-Indonesian archipelago, and use case studies to show how the charges described have galvanized Indonesian politics at the cultural and geographical peripheries.
