Video about LCMS Southeastern District Lay Deacon Program

Not only is this is very akin to the new monasticism, but do people really not realize that Philip was not just a typical deacon?!? He was obviously no longer a deacon after the church in Jerusalem was scattered, but was sent out to publicly preach, teach, and administer the sacraments. He’s a pastor, directly commissioned by an angel of the Lord to go to the Ethiopian Eunuch. I thought we already dealt with the whole deacon thing a couple conventions ago?!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eAWeSzS1W0
