To Be and To Serve: The Ministerial Identity of the Deacon

by William T. Ditewig Ph.D.

Overview

In To Be and To Serve, Deacon William T. Ditewig explores the important topic of identity for permanent deacons by reflecting on the place of deacons within the local community and the universal church. Noting that “it’s all about relationships,” he takes readers on a journey through church teachings and pastoral realities to highlight the truth that a deacon lives a life totally given over to the Lord and to those whom he is called to serve.
