Fünf Frauen werden als Diakoninnen in der episkopalen Kirche ordiniert

Die episkopale Kirche hat einen historischen Schritt unternommen, indem sie fünf Frauen als Diakoninnen ordiniert hat. Die Zeremonie fand am Sonntag in der St. Paul’s Cathedral in Boston statt.

Die Frauen, darunter eine ehemalige Krankenschwester, eine Lehrerin und eine Unternehmerin, haben sich dazu verpflichtet, den Bedürftigen zu dienen und die Botschaft des Evangeliums zu verbreiten.

Die Diakoninnen wurden von Bischof Thomas Brown ordiniert, der betonte, dass die Zeit reif sei, Frauen in Führungspositionen in der Kirche zu sehen.

Die ordinierten Frauen begrüßten die Entscheidung und betonten, dass sie bereit seien, ihre Gemeinde mit Liebe und Mitgefühl zu dienen.

Die Diakoninnen werden sich nun darauf konzentrieren, Dienste wie Taufen, Ehen und Beerdigungen zu leiten und so einen wichtigen Beitrag zur spirituellen Führung der Gemeinde zu leisten.
