Deaconess The
idea of the deaconess is not new. There were deaconess in
the New Testament church, in the churches of the first several
centuries, and there are deaconesses in today's churches.
She was called the assistant or minister to deacons. Paul
praised the women in his letters. He did not refer to
gender when he wrote to the churches of Rome (Rom 12:1-8) and
Corinth. (I Cor. 12L1-31) about the gift they may have been
given, the service expected of them, and the oneness of the
church as the body of Christ. Deaconess:
