The Diaconal Care of Non-Poor Christians (4) The Example of Calvin's Geneva: An Evaluation

  • Popular
  • Douglas J. Kuiper

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 fourth article in a five part series on the role of the deacon. This article evaluates the previously mentioned Geneva examples of diaconal work, drawing lessons for today's deacons.
