Everything Women Can and Can't Do According to the Bible： Women in Ministry part 13
02:46:26 – 02:47:59
Mike argues for women deacons with Phoebe as the primary example.
Phoebe is called a 'diakonos of the church at Cenchreae' (Romans 16:1). The word is the same used for male deacons. The phrasing 'a servant OF THE CHURCH at Cenchreae' suggests it's an official title related to that fellowship, not just informal service. Since deacon is a catch-all that doesn't entail a specific degree of authority, having a woman in this role doesn't create an elder-like problem.
