Top Tweets for #DistinctiveDeacons
One of the challenges we #distinctivedeacons face is that so many priests think they 'know' what a deacon is, when they don't. It can be very frustrating. The CofE must take responsibility for training the TIs of DDs.
A question I ask myself often, especially with a church that is wilfully ignoring the ministry of #distinctivedeacons whose task is to enable the mission of the whole church through diakonia.
The question has to be asked—and is repeatedly asked—whether the traditional forms of the ministry which have been inherited from the ‘Christendom’ period are fully compatible with the faith that the Church is called to be a missionary community.
Only half of the pastor’s work is to gather the people together for worship. The other half is to send them back to their daily tasks equipped to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. If we forget this second part, the other can be positively dangerous.
Also, stunned when +James greeted me with 'Read your book last night. I was going to skim it ... then realised I had to read it properly. I was sceptical about #distinctivedeacons before I read it. Now I get it.' Woo-hoo!
Delighted to say that all Principals of theological ed institutes have now been notified by the National Ministry Team that online resources for #distinctivedeacons in IME 1 & 2 are now available on the Common Awards Hub!
Really useful mini retreat with members of the Network's national steering group. Reflected on past 5 years and praised God for his blessings. Then SWOT analysis, prayer for guidance and discussion on future priorities. Always so good to be together as #distinctivedeacons
Pray for us today as members of our Network steering group and I meet to reflect on the past 5 years, and seek God's wisdom for the future of the diaconate and the support of #distinctivedeacons
@CottrellStephen @churchofengland Do hope you'll have time to do that with #distinctivedeacons too, and spotlight that they are the third order of ordained ministers.
@RevRichardColes @burrellcollect Ooh! Thank you for noticing that and putting out a correction! It heartens us #distinctivedeacons
Pray for Alice and all ordinands on retreat now ahead of their ordination, especially #distinctivedeacons
That’s it: out of office is on, have done all I can for next week’s reintegration and it’s time to eat, pack and sleep before #ordinationretreat. Will be off social media til I’m out the other side #distinctivedeacon 🙏🏼♥️😝
Every #deacon's heart responds to this call. May God continue to bevkon many to this adventurous and loving ministry. #distinctivedeacons
Great regional meeting with #distinctivedeacons of Gloucester, Exeter and Bath and Wells dioceses last night. Wonderful to be with one's tribe, speaking the same language, without needing to explain!
"I then told the Archbishop of Canterbury that deacons should be paid #gooddayswork" Go Jess! #distinctivedeacons
We Make the Road by Walking...👣👣👣
Spent the whole day posting the information about #onlinetrainingcourses for #distinctivedeacons on the Hub, our website, whatsapp, facebook and here ... and lots of follow-up emails to let everyone know! Time for chocolate.
Crouched on the bed on a zoom call yesterday, as family are filling the rest of our small flat ... discussing how to develop and present further resources for #distinctivedeacons. Dr Ken Farrimond so #helpful and #supportive! #grateful
Persuaded 2 TEIs to let me put details of diaconal-type courses on Common Awards Hub. Populating the Hub. Got a letter published in Church Times. A good week for #distinctivedeacons!
Woohoo! Looks like I'll be able to post online courses for #distinctivedeacons on the Common Awards Hub very soon: one on Mission on the Margins, and the other on Community theology and Development. Just what deacon ordinands and curates need! #exciteddeacon
