Summary

Women's diaconal - Biblical and Historical Perspectives

Further, on the basis of historical sources, the article focuses on the practice of female diaconate in early Christianity from their ordination and position in Christian communities to the specificity of their ministry in the tradition of both the Eastern and Western Churches.

 

Key Words: female diaconate, women, ministry, ordination, Eastern Church
