The Pope of Alexandria has reinstituted deaconesses.

Meanwhile the Coptic Pope is in league with the Pope of Rome to invent a common Easter date . . .

Thanks for letting us know, Father. Is this the first time that World Orthodoxy has consecrated deaconesses ?

The article points to Sts Tatiana, Olympias and Phoebe as early examples of deaconesses. Is that accurate, if you or anyone else happens to know ?
