Liturgical Service by Girls and Women

Greater participation of girls and women in the liturgical assembly of the Orthodox Church benefits the entire community. This event, held on June 25, 2023, and co-sponsored with Axia Women, offered the perspective of Orthodox women who have experienced these ministries as girl altar servers and tonsured readers or chanters. Topics explored were how to encourage the expansion of these ministries and how they do, and do not, connect with the revival of the ordained order of deaconesses.
