Commission on Women as Deacons

Deacon Phoenix of the Clergy is my new book and it is currently available.

The decision to ordain a woman as Deacon is being studied by a Papal Commission. This is an important moment of self definition for the Roman Catholic Church. I have delved into the history of the deacon and make theological conclusions in Deacon Phoenix of the Clergy . I hope you will take a minute to consider this important decision and share your input with the Church.

Here is a recent review:

“E.C. Andercheck looks at the church’s ministry through the lens of the diaconate.  What he sees, and enables us to see, is what a gift the diaconate is to the church’s mission today.  The church must utilize the ministry of Deacon in more fruitful, creative ways in the church of the future; Ed’s insightful, wise, and challenging book shows us why and how.”
