Hello, Deacon. I inquired because I think I missed a post or two. I think that if you posted your inquiries to the SLP list, you may well get some answers you're looking for. Knowing a few in the group fairly well, you would be well served…

Well it is Ash Wednesday and we are both busy, but I will make a start.
Regarding lay priests: Surely many public duties of the aaronite priesthood do belong to the pastoral office today.
But today's lay priesthood is superior to the old…

Rev. Oncken, I see the makings of a 10 year theological program and discussion in these comments, but a discussion of AC 14, The Treatise, and Eph. Chapter 4, Rom. Chapters 10, 12, and Acts Chapters 6-8 could conceivably belong in a group…

Hi Buni, I just became a member yesterday when you mailed me. You can see why I had to send you THE PORPOISE. This site ought to have something for every one. Notice the 'nominate Matthew Harrison' group.
Tell Travis Hi
Love, Brent

Thanks Brent

We (being my wife and I) don't go to any churches in Wichita anymore. We commute to Hutchinson, KS, for the Holy Supper weekly at Christ Ev. LCMS.
What is LLTI?

On to the topic at hand…
I'll readily admit that the title 'deacon' has some ambiguity in how it's been used in the midst of the Church. It has been applied to called and ordained pastors, even in Lutheran history. It's also been used to designate laity who serve in ways to help the clergy to devote more time and attention to things specific to the Office of the Ministry. So it is thorny to make a case for who should and shouldn't be called a 'deacon', aside from the fact that clarity and consistency should always be upheld for the sake of Christ's Church.
The more important issue that really needs to be considered is whether the man who serves to preach, teach, and administer the sacraments for the Church is properly serving according to the Office of the Ministry, or is he attempting to do that which he has not been called to do?
To put it another way, are articles 5 and 14 of the Augsburg Confession being upheld, or is the ambiguity of the title 'deacon' being used to obscure the fact that the Confessions are being ignored and rejected? You and I could discuss the semantics of Ephesians 4, etc., but if we claim to be faithfully 'Lutheran', the Confessions make it pretty clear.
