Pope Francis and Women in the Office of Diaconal Ministry
Die Frühe Kirche kannte das Diakoninnenamt. Die orthodoxen Kirchen führen es seit 2004 sukzessive wieder ein, derzeit noch nach Maßgabe der Ortsbischöfe. Auch andere Kirchen, die die Frauenordination zum Pastoren- oder Priesteramt nicht kennen, haben trotzdem das Diakonenamt wieder für Frauen geöffnet. Wie bei den katholischen Diakonen heute, haben Diakone und Diakoninnen in der Frühen Kirche am Vollzug der Taufe und des Abendmahls mitgewirkt, nicht aber die Sakramente selbst vollzogen bzw. eingesetzt.
