Looking Through a Diaconal Lens
We also ask your support for the adoption of a resolution to make this question part of the agenda of every meeting in the Episcopal Church, at parish, diocesan, or church-wide level, in calendar year 2013. We have sent a letter to all the bishops and General Convention delegates, asking them to, "Look through a Diaconal Lens" with us, by visiting our booth at General Convention, and by backing our resolution. Please raise these issues with your delegations, and look for us in Indianapolis! Two New ResourcesComing on the heels of a fantastic conference for Archdeacons and directors of formation are two new resources for information and formation produced by dioceses. One, in the "Information" menu at left, is a new video about deacons, Dream a New World: Hearing a Deacon's Call, produced by the Diocese of North Carolina with support from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund. The other, found in the "Resources" menu, is a Customary for Deacons of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York. Please enjoy and share them both! 25 Years Plus OneLeadership in the Community of Deacons |

Thanks be to God, and you!The Association for Episcopal Deacons fundraiser, “Where would be be, without AED?” has reached and exceeded its goal! Our thermometer runneth over. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the board and staff of AED. A celebratory issue of Diakoneo will be coming out in the next few weeks in which we will publish the names of the donors who have made this success possible. We will also talk to you about how we plan to use the money you have entrusted to us to continue to engage the Diakonia of all Believers in the future. Yours with enormous gratitude,Pam Nesbit, AED President |
The Association for Episcopal Deacons is pleased to announce that "The Seven" began the last week of September with two introductory teleconference calls.
"The Seven" is coordinated by Deacon Kyle Pedersen of the Diocese of Connecticut, with the support of Deacon Susanne Watson Epting, Executive Director of the Association for Episcopal Deacons.
This new and exciting mentored experience in diaconal ministry for young adults includes eight participants from the dioceses of Connecticut, Iowa, and Olympia. The participating women and men range in age from 18-37 and have a variety of life, educational, work, and ministry experiences.
