Missio Dei Suburbia

To Deaconness...Or Not To Deaconness

Christ Community Church is part of both the Acts 29 Network and the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Within the PCA, there is an ongoing dialogue about the role of women in the church, particular as it relates to the office or position of deacon. Below are the differing opinions of two men for whom I have the utmost respect:

Tim Keller - The Case for Commissioning (Not Ordaining) Deaconnesses

Ligon Duncan - The Case for Our Current Policy on Female Deacons

byFaith Magazine

I've been meaning to plug this for awhile now, but I've been very impressed by the quality of the PCA's denominational magazine, byFaith. Check out their website and seriously consider subscribing whether you're part of the PCA or not. This is a tremendous resource for people committed to the gospel and its impact in transforming culture.
