The web site of the Patriarchate of Romania has posted a news article<\/a> reporting the consecration of five deaconesses for missionary ministry in preparing candidates for Baptism, and catechesis. Patriarch Theodoros II performed the consecration of the deaconesses on February 17.<\/p>\n

The news report does not describe the details of the rite of ordination (or consecration). Readers might consult Paul Bradshaw’s Ordination Rites of the Ancient Churches of East and West<\/em> for historical patterns, keeping in mind that the Church of Alexandria may have its own liturgical variant distinct from the Byzantine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
