What does it mean to “interpret to the Church the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world”?  If you have ever wondered what that means or sensed a pull toward ordained ministry, this class may be for you. Los Angeles deacons will offer a glimpse into the life and history of the diaconate.  We’ll answer the questions: What does it mean to be a deacon today?  How do I know that I am called? What are the steps for getting there? Participants will hear from deacons who act as the bridge between the church and the world and learn about the distinctive diaconal voice. This workshop is recommended for those discerning a call to ordained ministry.

Leaders:  The Rev. Deacon Dennis Sheridan, PhD, The Venerable Laura Siriani, Archdeacon
