<strong><span style="color: #db3434;">In Anglicanism, a deacon is an ordained position. A deacon takes vows to “encourage and equip the household of God, to care for the stranger, to embrace the poor and helpless, and to seek them out, so that they may be relieved,” (BCP 478). You may also see a deacon read the Gospel lesson, prepare Communion, and preach.</span></strong>

<strong><span style="color: #db3434;">Not every parish has a deacon. But in our context every priest has also been ordained as a deacon, so his pastoral leadership flows out of a servant’s heart. The word ‘priest’ simply means elder, presbyter. He vows “to teach, to warn, to feed, and to provide for the Lord’s family, and to seek for Christ’s sheep who are in the midst of this fallen world, that they may be saved through Christ forever,” (BCP 489). Depending on the type of congregation he serves and on his tenure, the priest is also either a vicar or rector. A vicar is appointed by the bishop for a defined period to foster the life of a parish. A rector is a tenured senior pastor of the congregation, called by the parish.</span></strong>
