Pope Francis has called together a Commission to Study the possibility of women deacons. Phyllis Zagano, an expert on the topic was well rec'd. when she spoke here a few years ago. Dr. Zagano has written and spoken widely on Women Deacons and is appointed to this new Papal Commission! Several people have asked for study sessions and book discussions on Holy Saturday, and On Being Catholic and Female In the Image of Christ and Women Deacons. How are 12:15-1:45 PM Wednesdays Oct. 5 & 19 & Nov. 2 & 16 for you to join us in listening to God and digging into scripture and church history, taking a good look at reality together and discussing findings? If Wednesdays are impossible for you we may have enough people to form another group on your best day so give me your available times and days. We've ordered a few books so be among the first to sign up and I will let you know when it arrives. Or you may want to google and order Zagano's book(s) or let me know if you want me to order you book(s). Please email me dmack@dor.org and put "women deacons" in the subject line. We will meet in room 2. (From our church baptistry you take the stairs down, walk left through the lobby and take hallway left where room 2 is the first door on your left. Or take the ramp from High Street directly to our lobby, through to left hallway and room 2)
