This webinar will examine and discuss the Diakonia Remixed (Office of Deacon Task Force) report to synod, a report that re-visions the diaconal calling and calls for greater participation of deacons in the life of the church, including its major assemblies. You’ll get an insider’s viewpoint on this important document and process. Please prepare for participation by reading the Diakonia Remixed report (Agenda for Synod 2013; pp 263-299). Our panelists have created a list of 3 questions for your reflection. Your questions and suggestions for discussion topics can be submitted to the panelists via the webinar registration form, so please register early.
