Eliminating a seminary diaconate is not only possible but necessary for envisioning a mature and fully formed diaconate for the future.

In a piece published online in America in March, Katie Owens Mulcahy urged the church to “[recognize] the gifts of diaconal women all around us, inviting spirited debate from readers.

What could be possible if the gifts of diaconal women were empowered through ordination?

Deacon Steve Kramer preaches on the First Scrutiny for the Third Sunday in Lent, Year A, and reflects on how four summers shuttling people around gave him a crash-course in listening skills key to his development as a preacher.

The Synod on Synodality is good news for all the baptized, and in particular, it is good news for women.

The movement for restoring women to the diaconate is steeped in love and faith, not activism or anger. It is not just a “women’s issue” but a human issue.
