The Seven Deacons
Chapter 9 The Seven Deacons [This chapter is based on Acts 6:1-7.] In those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration." The early church was made up of many classes of people, of various nationalities. At the time of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, "there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven." Acts 2:5. Among those of the Hebrew faith who were gathered at Jerusalem were some commonly known as Grecians, between whom and the Jews of Palestine there had long existed distrust and even antagonism. The hearts of those who had been converted 1 under the labors of the apostles, were softened and united by Christian love. Despite former prejudices, all were in harmony with one another. Satan knew that so long as this union continued to exist, he would be powerless to check the progress of gospel truth; and he sought to take advantage of former habits of thought, in the hope that thereby he might be able to introduce into the church elements of disunion. Thus it came to pass that as disciples were multiplied, the enemy succeeded in arousing the suspicions of some who had formerly been in the habit of looking with jealousy on their brethren in the faith and of finding fault with their spiritual leaders, and so "there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews." The cause of complaint was an alleged neglect of the Greek widows in the daily distribution of assistance.

Homily on Ordination of Permanent Deacons
Ordination of Permanent Deacons Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception Holy Rosary Cathedral 8 December 2015 Dear brother priests, Deacons Lucio and Mark, those just now elected to the Order of Deacon, together with your wives and families, consecrated men and women, seminarians, brothers and sisters in Christ: Introduction What a blessed and historic day this is – and at long last! – in the life of the Archdiocese of Vancouver: the Ordination of these sixteen men now elected to the Sacred Order of Deacons. Not only is this the first group of men who will serve our local Church as permanent deacons, it is the largest Ordination ever held in our beautiful Cathedral. Truly it is a moment of special grace and joy for each one of you, brothers, and for your families, but for all of us as well. We cannot but repeat the words which marked the dawn of our salvation in Christ when the Angel Gabriel said to the Virgin Mary: “Rejoice” (Lk 1:28). Yes, this evening we rejoice and give the Lord thanks and praise for he is doing marvelous things for us (cf. Ps 98:1) by enriching our Archdiocese, as he did the Church of the Apostles, with “men of good standing, full of the Spirit and of wisdom” (Acts 6:3) to share in the ordained ministry. Expression of Gratitude It is also fitting tonight to offer profound thanks to all those who, for over four years, have been intimately involved in accompanying our ordinandi on their journey to Ordination. Above all, dear brothers, I am thinking of your wives and families, the domestic churches where your vocation to the diaconate first took root – for some of you even many years ago, and for others more recently.

The Role of a New Testament Deacon
Guillermin Library Liberty University Lynchburg, VA 24502 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THE ROLE OF A NEW TESTAMENT DEACON: AN OFFICE TO HOLD OR A MINISTRY TO PERFORM? A Dissertation Submitted to Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MINISTRY By Waylan Lawrence Payne, Jf. Lynchburg, Virginia May, 1996 LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY THESIS PROJECT APPROVAL SHEET /J- GRADE ABSTRACT THE ROLE OF A NEW TESTAMENT DEACON: AN OFFICE TO HOLD OR A MINISTRY TO PERFORM? Waylan L. Payne, Jr. Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, 1996 Mentor: Dr. Carl 1. Diemer, Jr. The function of deacons in many Southern Baptist churches is inconsistent with biblical principles, creating confusion at the local church level. This phenomenon is substantiated by information gathered from available literature, surveys, and personal interviews with professors, pastors and deacons. The purpose of this paper is to present a biblical and historical basis for the diaconate and to provide successful deacon ministries as positive role models. Two church offices are recognized--pastor/elder/overseer and deacon. Deacons are not elders or overseers. When they attempt to perform as such, administrating church business, they are functionally violating New Testament principle and practice. Abstract length: 99 words.

Daily Catechesis on the Way; the First Week of Martyrs' Tide; 9–15
Commemoration of St. Laurence, Deacon and Martyr Monday, 10 August Early in the third century, Laurence, most likely born in Spain, made his way to Rome. There he was appointed chief of the seven deacons and was given the responsibility to manage church property and finances. The emperor at the time, who thought that the church had valuable things Emmaus Evangelical Lutheran Church worth confiscating, ordered Laurence to produce the “treasures of the church.” Laurence brought 929 East Milton Street, South Bend • (574) 287–4151 • emmaus24.org before the emperor the poor whose lives had been touched by Christian charity. He was then jailed and eventually executed in the year 258 by being roasted on a gridiron. His martyrdom left Rev. Dr. Richard Stuckwisch, Pastor a deep impression on the young church. Almost immediately, the date of His death, 10 August, became a permanent fixture on the early commemorative calendar of the Church. Rev. David A. Seyboldt, Assistant Pastor The Feast of St. Mary, the Mother of God Saturday, 15 August St. Mary, the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, is mentioned repeatedly in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, with nearly a dozen specific incidents in her life being recorded: her betrothal to Joseph; the Annunciation by the Angel Gabriel that she was to be the Mother of the Messiah; her Visitation to Elizabeth, the Mother of John the Baptist; the Nativity of our Lord; the visits of the Shepherds and the Wise Men; the Presentation of the Infant Jesus in the temple; the flight into Egypt; the Passover visit to Jerusalem when Jesus was twelve; the wedding at Cana in Galilee; her presence at the Crucifixion when her Son commended her to the care of His Disciple John; and her meeting with the Apostles in the upper room after the Ascension, waiting for the promised Holy Spirit.

Oneness in Christ When Conflicts Arise Lesson #7 for November 17, 2018 Scriptures: Acts 6:1-6; 10:1-23; 11-3-24; 15:1-22; Matthew 5:17-20; Amos 9:11-12; Galatians 3:27-29. 1. Why do differences of opinion arise in Christian churches? Shouldn’t we all be following Scripture and come to the same conclusions? Why are there thousands of different Christian groups even though they are using the same Bible? This lesson will talk about dealing with one of the most difficult tasks in Christian communities, maintaining unity while dealing with differences of opinion. 2. We can learn a lot by what happened to the early Christians as they faced conflicts. Some of those conflicts arose because of interpersonal prejudices; some arose because of cultural differences; others arose because of differences in interpretation of Scripture. 3. In our previous lessons, we have talked about the basis for church unity. In order to maintain that Christian unity, we must learn how to deal with differences that arise. 4. One of the first major conflicts that arose in the Christian church is spelled out in Acts 6:1. Acts 6:1: Some time later, as the number of disciples kept growing, there was a quarrel between the Greek-speaking Jews and the native Jews. The Greek-speaking Jews claimed that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of funds.—American Bible Society. (1992).

Notice that it does not specifically say that there was favoritism, just that some people felt that there was.

Attempts at Restoring Pagan Hellenism During the Reign of Emperor Julian the Apostate
International Journal of Orthodox Theology 5:4 (2014) 177 urn:nbn:de:0276-2014-4082 Marius Telea Attempts at restoring pagan Hellenism during the Reign of Emperor Julian the Apostate. Figures of Christian Martyrs Abstract In the Orthodox Church, martyrdom has always been regarded and understood as being the supreme trial of faith, through which Christians confess their faith in Jesus Christ the Saviour, even at the expense of their life. The violent and atrocious persecutions against Christians lasted almost three centuries, more precisely until 313, when Emperor Constantine the Great granted freedom to the Christian religion through the so-called Edict of Milan. Later, after persecutions ceased, the Marius Telea is PhD., relics of the holy martyrs were taken Associate Professor of History and Spirituality of out of their tombs and place with Byzantium at the Faculty devoutness in open vaults or of Orthodox Theology of reliquaries, and on the tombs of “December 1st 1918” saints and martyrs were built the first University of Alba Iulia, churches called martyria.

Keywords Paganism, Julian the Apostate, Hellenism, Martyrs 1 Introduction The fourth century AD meant the final victory of Christianity over paganism. The Greek-Roman paganism with its gods and culture was drawing to an end. The Christian religion and culture sprang bright and powerful on the ruins of the pagan religion and culture. The temples of Greek and Roman gods were destroyed by Christian missionaries, and Christianity became a state religion.
