In many churches I have been involved with, Deacons are looked upon as "second-class" officers, which bothered me to no little extent. Any thoughts on this? In our churches, for many years there has been the tendency to nominate young sometimes inexperienced men for the position of Deacon. This strongly left the impression that the office of Deacon is some sort of preparation school for eldership. I think I am not far off when I say that this habit has to a large extent been done away with during the last 15 years and in many congregations one now finds quite a number of older deacons as well.
