The Diaconal Care of Non-Poor Christians (3): The Example of Calvin's Geneva: The Funds
Diaconal work is always associated with caring for the poor. This article argues that this should not be the case. Deacons are also called to care for the non-poor. This is the third article in a five part series on the role of the deacon. This article discusses a church fund that existed in the time of John Calvin as an example of this diaconal work.
