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.
While I am representing the World Evangelical Alliance at the Vatican synod and shake hands with the Pope daily, the Vatican Files state as “Evangelical Theological Perspectives” that the Pope is the “Antichrist” and references 1 John 2:18; 2:22; 4:3; 2 John 1:7 and the Beast of Revelation 13:17-18. It quotes historic persons such as Martin Luther, historic confessions such as the Westminster Confession, and especially explains the views of Francis Turretin (1623-1687), who is often seen as the master of classical Protestant theology.
