Deacons

We have what is called a Deacon in training. These men are set aside for one year and observed by the pastor, the deacon body and the church body. During this time the person is instructed in the responsibilities and duties of a deacon. After one year a decision is made to weather the person is qualified to be a deacon, if yes then they are ordained. During the ordination a body of pastors and deacons question the person and make the decision.

The definition of "celibate" is "not married."

You probably are asking if a married deacon needs to be chaste; that is, not having sexual relations.

To deacon produce is to bury the soft, spotted, or otherwise unappealing produce in the bottom of the basket, and the pretty stuff on top.

To deacon a calf is to whop a newborn dairy male on the head, killing it, because to price of veal is too low to make raising it profitable, and the calf's genetics make it an unlikely candidate for a champion bull.

Not exactly a paragon of virtue is the typical deacon. Most of them, however, do not engage in sex with a married woman if her husband is watching with a shotgun in his arms.

Some presbyterian churches have deacons.

Deacons were the primary assistants to the bishop. The diocese was divided into (at first) seven diakoniae or deaconries. Each was headed by a senior deacon, with the assistance of a junior deacon (or subdeacon). These were responsible for the adminsitration of the Church's resources in that district, especially but not exclusively for the care of the poor and vulnerable.

These were eventually expanded to 14 districts, and then expanded again. The ecclesial structure of a deanery (also called a vicariate or a prefecture) derives from these early diakoniae.

Because of their experenice with the administration of the diocesan church, especially compared to presbyters who only advised the bishop and lead small house churches/tituli (early parishes), it was more likely that the bishop would be elected from among the deacons than among the presbyterate in the first millennium.

In Catholic religion the rule or job of a deacon is seems like a servant to assist the priest carefully, in order to pleased by the priests in order for him to be promoted to the next level to be a priest.

In the Catholic Church, once a man has received ordination of the diaconate, he cannot marry. However, if a man is already married, he can then become a deacon (this is known as being part of the permanent diaconate, as opposed to the transitional diaconate, which is for men who intend to become priests). Should a permanent deacon's wife pass away, he is not free to marry again.

To serve the members of the local congregation in any way he can. Visiting the sick, caring for the elderly, widows, orphans, working within the church, planning the budget, and taking car of all church business.

Deacon vestments had their own family, they had children's and a wife. But the priest family c0mp0sed of us...

Being a deacon doesn't exempt a person from paying taxes, to the government or any other kind of tax.

Some relevant verse in the Bible:

Matthew 22:17-21 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" .........................................And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

Romans 13:1-7 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God...............................................Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

"...up country and down city." Was the closing of his noon program. He closed his morning program with the noise of a farm gate slamming shut while he said" Grab it, slam it and we'll see you in the morning".

no, they just look similar, dappys real name is Costadinos Contostavlos

stuff like that happens,

Not every person in church is a true Christian that actually comes to church to worship God. Some come to get a date , some use church as a social club, some come to hold positions of power. Not everyone's motives for going to church are "good". Churches try to pick "righteous" people to serve in jobs like being a deacon and we can only go by what we hear people say, or how they appear to us. Only God knows the intent of a persons heart, so churches try to pick Godly folks but we can't read minds. Often times the title of deacon goes to a person's head and when they don't agree with the doctrine of the pastor, don't like the pastor, or there may be a real problem with the pastor, then pastors can get run off. If a church is very open in it's business then the people should be informed of issues between deacons and pastors, it should never be behind closed doors. Going to your churches business meeting may help you get these answers. Some pastors choose to stay and fight, but some just decide to leave because they are tired of fighting with people that don't use the Bible as the rule of law instead of their own desires. The Bible should always be the true doctrine, not the deacons or pastors opinions....

There were seven men chosen by the early Church as deacons.
