In Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox churches a deacon is an ordained minister of an order ranking below that of priest.

There can be no opposite. In these churches there are simply different roles that people play. The laity (or members) have a number of roles reserved for them, the religious (minsiters, nuns, etc) have other roles.
