In some Christian traditions ([[Eastern Orthodoxy]], [[Roman Catholicism]], [[Anglican Church|Anglicanism]], [[Methodism]], etc.) a ''deacon'' is a clergy person who usually serves a local church or churches and who has been ordained to a ministry of Word and Service. In other Christian traditions ([[Calvinism|Presbyterianism]], the [[Baptist|Baptists]], etc.), a ''deacon'' is a lay person charged with serving as an administrator in a local church. ==Quotes== ==Links== {{returnto}} [[Christianity]] -> [[Church]] -> [[Church Terms Index]][[Category:Catholic Church]][[Category:Anglican Communion]][[Category:Eastern Orthodox Church]]LOL INTERNET
