Overview
One of the great fruits of the Second Vatican Council was an increase in attention to the diaconate not just as a transitional period for those on the road to priesthood but as a vocation unto itself. In this text, the ITC explores the meaning of this often overlooked degree of Holy Orders. Starting with Jesus and the apostles in the New Testament, the ITC offers a detailed historical overview of the diaconate that includes the presences of deacons in Scripture and the early church, the disappearance of the diaconate in the Middle Ages, and its reemergence with Vatican II—all with an eye to the scriptural and theological underpinnings that make this office an important part of the church today.
