In most major Christian groups like the Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican churches, the diaconate is the first official rank of ordained ministry, sitting below priests and bishops." Again, Brian Mallard responded: "Deacon is a supportive position to the pastor." "Deacons aren't ministers or pastors in the church, we serve the needs of the pastor so he can concentrate of sermons." " In the Christian faith, all believers are preachers, but in the church organization, deacons are servants to the church." -- Poetry and songs of Will Dockery: https://www.reverbnation.com/willdockery
