SUMMARY:Deacons\, Women and the Call to Serve
DESCRIPTION:The current Vatican commission exploring the possibility of women deacons has raised a number of questions about their role in the church. As ordained ministers who are neither priests nor lay people\, the actual role of deacons in the parishes where they minister remains unclear to many Catholics. What are deacons\, and how has their role changed over history? \nCould women deacons revolutionize pastoral ministry and transform the church? How can the diaconate better meet the changing needs of the faithful today? Join us for a roundtable discussion sponsored by the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture and America Media featuring: \n\nNancy Dallavalle\, theologian and vice president for mission and identity at Fairfield University\nDeacon Greg Kandra\, blogger at Aleteia’s “The Deacon’s Bench\,” multimedia editor at Catholic Near East Welfare Association.\nRita Ferrone\, contributing editor at Commonweal and blogger at “Pray Tell Blog”\nGeorge Demacopoulos\, theologian and founding co-director of the Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University\nJames Martin\, S.J.\,  moderator\, author and editor-at-large for America Media\n\nSeries online schedule (all videos will be posted here\, and remain available once they debut): \nNov. 28:   Segment 1: The Diaconate—History and Present Practice\nDec. 5:     Segment 2: Women Deacons and the Papal Commission\nDec. 12:   Segment 3: The Diaconate and the Future of Ministrycontact: crcevent@fordham.edu\n\nFordham Center on Religion and Culture \nSince 2004\, the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture has explored questions arising at the intersection of religious traditions and contemporary culture.
