Are Ordained Deaconesses Compatible With Historic Christian Orthodoxy?
Unfortunately today the popularisation of deaconesses is widespread. So much so, that even the ultra-conservative churches have fallen to it. But is it biblical?
The term “diakonos” is used of an office with special requirements that women cannot meet. “Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,” (1 Tim. 3:8). And, “Let deacons be husbands of only one wife [lit. one woman man’] and good managers of their children and their own households,” (1 Tim. 3:12). See also Phil. 1:1.
Therefore, it is impossible for the concept of a deaconess to be compatible with Christian Orthodoxy. So we must respect the God ordained clergical institutions and do away with this concept.
