Years ago deacons learned how to do deacon ministry by observing other deacons in action. There were no manuals, no training guides, and no deacon workshops. It was quite a simple process. Deacons were called and essentially they learned by diong. More recently with specialized training offered for pastors, teachers, and other congregational leaders, deacons have increasinly asked for similar support and training for their ministry. The deonominational response, however, has been rather slow in coming. In 1942 Annual Conference authorized the publication of a deacon manual to \"fully set forth the dites of the office..utline the qualifications of candidates for the office, provide a service for installation of deacons..describe the spiritual implications of the office, offer instruction and guidance in the importance of proper arrangements for the Love Feast and Communion.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Association of Brethren Caregivers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986617659445,"sku":"ByrdShop_1892338149","price":57.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781892338143_97eb724f-2fb5-4106-b2af-8fe68a45d054.jpg?v=1778734446","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/deacon-manual-for-caring-ministries-9781892338143","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
