Want to know more about becoming a deaconess?

“Diaconal Ministry: Discernment, History and Formation” is the title of a January time in Chicago designed to help people determine whether becoming a deaconess is a good path for them. Taking place Jan. 9 through 20 at Lutheran School of Theology, the gathering will be led by Susan McArver of Lutheran Theological Southern Seminar and Dirk Lange of Luther Seminary. Tuition is covered by the Deaconess Community of the ELCA.
