From Redeemer's web site:<br><br><blockquote>[color:blue]The Diaconate is a group of men [color:red]and woman</font color=red> who have been elected by the Redeemer congregation and serve the visible (social, emotional, physical and financial) and spiritual needs of the Church and its community. We work with individuals and families in distressing or challenging situations, are available for prayer, questions or counsel after each service, and assist the Elders with membership interviews. As the church grows, so does the need for elders, deacons, and deaconesses. </blockquote></font color=blue> So, yes it does say "deaconesses" which IMHO is just another way of saying female deacons......!<br><br>I do not call PCUSA liberal, but apostate.
