Practical Feminism

A EO priest writes on FB regarding the restoration of deaconesses:

If the issue is the empowerment of women, believe me women are already empowered in the Eastern Orthodox Church. They serve on Parish Councils, as delegates to Archdiocesan Conventions and on the Board of Trustees of the Archdiocese. In my parish we have a woman Parish Council chair and woman treasurer. In a parish a priest who fights with the women does not survive.
