DEACONS IN THE EARLY CHURCH

In the original language, the word Deacon meant SERVANT.

The martyrdom of Saint Stephen is the description of the FIRST office of deacons.

During the time of the Apostles, the deacons ranked next to the Apostles amongst the Church.

Their jobs were to help relieve the bishops, for example they assisted in distributing alms.

St. Paul’s Letters to the Corinthians

Paul’s 1st Letter to the Corinthians

• Christian community that he had founded in Corinth Greece.

• While Paul was on his third Journey he learned that the community had become divided, as members began identifying themselves with different religious leaders.

• His letter, written about 56 AD, opens with a plea for Christian unity, and is written in response to different issues raised by the Corinthians.

• This letter is the most quoted – particularly the passage on love

THOMAS

He is best known for disbelieving Jesus' resurrection when first told of it, then proclaiming

My Lord and my God" on seeing Jesus in John 20:28. He doubted Jesus' resurrection and demanded to feel Jesus' wounds before being convinced. Hence coining the term that is used to describe someone who will refuse to believe something without direct, physical, or personal evidence.

·       He was perhaps the only Apostle who went outside the Roman Empire to preach the Gospel.

·       St. Thomas went out and preached in Parthia, Persia and India, even though he was reluctant to start the mission because he had to be taken into slavery by a merchant heading that way. Finally he submitted himself to God's will and was freed from the slavery. Natasha Smith Chydell McKoy

• New Testament documents assign Peter a variety

of roles. He is seen as a missionary fisherman,

pastoral shepherd, martyr, recipient of

special revelation, confessor of the true

faith, magisterial protector, healer, and

repentant sinner. These roles and images help

explain the wealth of later stories and legends

surrounding Peter and his high status in Christian

literature, including his role in Roman Catholic

belief as founder of the papacy. The two Epistles

of Peter are ascribed to Peter, although the

attribution is questioned. Many postbiblical books

were also produced in his name, notably the Acts

of Peter. Feast day: June 29
