Deacon Greg Kandra, author of The Deacon's Bench and no stranger to self-sacrificing service, posts something wonderful and inspiring- "Behind the Walls with the Man Behind the Stole". This post and the story to which it is linked is about Deacon Donald Dashnaw's experience as a prison chaplain.
Deacon Dashnaw and many permanent deacons like him are the best reasons, the only reasons, for the restoration of the permanent diaconate.
Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."
