Nevertheless, many parishes, especially the small or rural, have yet to see a deacon ministering within their territories. Does the ministry of deacon make him a \"mini-priest\"? Or is he a lay minister of special distinction? Deacon Rex addresses these last two questions while building understanding of the ministry of deacon in such a way that, with (1) the approval of his pastor and (2), if married, his wife, each man can decide to make the first step, contacting the deacon formation director in his diocese.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-8937128\"\u003eDeacon Rex H.

He and wife Rita have been married for more than forty-one years; they have five grown children and eight grandchildren (so far). A geoscientist by secular vocation, he taught university geophysics and tectonics for many years and has contributed numerous research articles and published a monograph on plate tectonics and the fractured habitats of oil and natural gas. Deacon Rex's ministry has included preparation of couples for marriage and baptism of their children, all dimensions of liturgy, and formation of men for ordination to the permanent diaconate. His research in plate tectonics is ongoing, and he has been exploring the deep connections of faith and reason and their analogies with the structures and contents of scientific inquiry and artistic creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44705943781613,"sku":"9781495397981","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_d7bdb8b5-7bad-4984-b55c-0067ed039bed.jpg?v=1703948770","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/every-man-a-deacon-who-is-called-to-ordination-as-a-roman-catholic-deacon-9781495397981","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
