“In the UMC, deacons are ordained to lead the church in relating Christians to their ministries in the world their worship, preaching, teaching, nurturing spiritual vitality and leading ministries of service, love, and justice. At the most recent UMC General Conference, legislation was passed granting authority to deacons to preside at the sacraments—both baptism and communion—in their ministry setting. Today, we’re in conversation with three clergy persons in our conference to learn more about the role of deacons, explore how the church is connecting to the world today, and talk about the impact of this recent General Conference legislation.” (from TWK Table Talk Website)
