Becoming a Deacon After 35 Years | Trinity Talks Podcast

Bill has dreamed of being a deacon for 35 years and he’s finally getting his chance. But what is a deacon? And why does it matter for today? In this podcast we unpack the role of a deacon in the Anglican Church from participating in services to creating a bridge between the community and the congregation. Bill also shares how his recent motorcycle accident has prepared him for this new work and the lessons he’s learned from 35 years of waiting. We talk about the importance of pastoral care, outreach, mentorship and building strong teams that extend the mission of the church far beyond its walls. Whether you’re waiting on the fulfillment of your own dreams, wanting to learn more about deacons, or passionate about loving your neighbour - this podcast has something for everyone.
