Deacons are called to be heralds of the Word, servants of the church, and agents of the bishop. This practical book offers important information to help deacons serve in the liturgy with grace, sensitive to the needs of the presider and the people; to help communities of faith use their deacons in ways approppriate to the dignity and meaning of the order; help communities without diaconates find out how deacons enhance the liturgy; and to help all Christians--bishops, presbyters, deacons, and all the baptized--express baptismal ministry in the life and worship of the church.
