The Honoring and Deaconship

By P E Burroughs

"The Honoring and Deaconship" is a comprehensive guide dedicated to the vital role of the deacon within the Christian church. Written by P. E. Burroughs, a distinguished leader in the Southern Baptist tradition, this work explores the spiritual, practical, and administrative responsibilities associated with the office of deaconship. The text delves into the biblical foundations of the role, tracing its origins and evolution to provide a clear framework for service in a modern ecclesiastical context.

Burroughs emphasizes the importance of character, devotion, and leadership, offering practical advice for deacons to effectively support their pastors and serve their congregations. By examining the relationship between the deaconship and the broader mission of the church, the book serves as both an instructional manual and an inspirational call to ministry. "The Honoring and Deaconship" remains a significant resource for understanding the historical and theological perspectives on church leadership and the enduring importance of lay ministry in the Protestant tradition. It is an essential read for church leaders, theological students, and anyone interested in the organizational structure of the Baptist faith.
