In my former church the Deacons prepare a budget and the Elders have to approve it. A sensible precaution, I suppose, but it has a way of conveying more than a functional distinction between the two offices. I'm much more bothered by the artificial distinction made between clergy and laity than by the separate (but equal?) duties of Elders and Deacons. Yes, those who labor especially in word and doctrine should have their material needs provided for. I have no qualms about that at all. But when the ministry is treated as a profession comparable to the practice of law or medicine, unBiblical and dangerous presumptions follow fast upon it. -R
