Preaching Scholarships Available! Howard Anderson, Warden and President of the Cathedral College at the Washington National Cathedral has announced that through "a lovely gift from a previous deacon attendee," The Cathedral College is offering scholarships for the October 13-16, 2008, conference Deacons as Prophetic Preachers, to be led by Bishop Bob Ihloff and Deacon Joel Hill from Vermont. If deacons are eyeing another of the college's preaching conferences, the scholarship could applied to those conferences, as well. The point of contact for a scholarship, which could run up to $500, is the director of the Cathedral College of Preachers, The Rev. Dr. Dean McDonald. The application can be found here.

Called to Love and Serve A Documentary on the Diaconate in The Episcopal Church Five students from The School for Deacons in Berkeley, CA went to General Convention 2006 as “Team Dalmatic,” representing the school’s modest newsletter. With video camera in hand they conducted short interviews with many bishops, priests, deacons, and lay folk, asking for their understanding of the diaconate in today’s church. Later they filmed deacons in action and conducted further interviews. The resulting 27 minute film, in a brief time, gives us a rich picture of deacons and their roles in the church and world. There is also a segment showing the ordination of a deacon. This film will be useful for discernment committees and diaconal formation programs. It is very effective as the centerpiece of a congregation program to stimulate conversation about the diconate and the diakonia of all. The film, on DVD,is available from The School for Deacons. Any proceeds beyond covering the costs of the film will support the work of the school. To access the order form, click here. New NAAD Bookstore! The NAAD Bookstore online!
