El programa Diakonia Fellows busca animar una Iglesia cada vez m&aacute;s diaconal, sinodal y misericordiosa mediante el desarrollo de l&iacute;deres ministeriales y equip&aacute;ndolas para movilizar a sus comunidades al servicio en la Iglesia y el mundo. En este momento crucial, la Iglesia necesita l&iacute;deres diaconales. El S&iacute;nodo ha abierto conversaciones sobre el ministerio de las mujeres y el futuro del diaconado. Las comunidades de todo el pa&iacute;s y el mundo anhelan ministras que construyen puentes y que pueden revelar la misericordia de Dios en un mundo dividido. Diakonia Fellows equipa a 11 practicantes del ministerio con formaci&oacute;n teol&oacute;gica, habilidades de liderazgo y una cohorte de pares para el acompa&ntilde;amiento mutuo. Las Fellows lanzan ministerios que sirven a j&oacute;venes, refugiados, parroquias rurales, comunidades universitarias, mujeres y otras personas en las periferias de la Iglesia y el mundo. Nuestra cohorte est&aacute; recaudando $11,000 para apoyar este programa y la misi&oacute;n de Discerning Deacons. Cuando das, est&aacute;s invirtiendo en la formaci&oacute;n de l&iacute;deres ministeriales mujeres, las comunidades a las que sirven y una visi&oacute;n de Iglesia que es m&aacute;s diaconal, sinodal y misericordiosa. &iquest;Te unir&aacute;s a nosotras?

The Diakonia Fellows program seeks to animate a church that is ever more diaconal, synodal, and merciful by developing ministry leaders and equipping them to unleash their communities for service in the Church and world. At this pivotal moment, the Church needs diaconal leaders. The Synod has opened conversations about women&#39;s ministry and the future of the diaconate. Communities across the country and world are hungry for bridge-building ministers who can reveal God&#39;s mercy in a divided world. Diakonia Fellows equips ministry practitioners with theological formation, leadership skills, and a cohort of peers for mutual accompaniment. Fellows launch ministries serving youth, refugees, rural parishes, campus communities, women, and others on the peripheries of church and world. Our cohort is raising $11,000 to support this program and Discerning Deacons&#39; mission. When you give, you&#39;re investing in the formation of women ministry leaders, the communities they serve, and a vision of Church that is more diaconal, synodal, and merciful. Will you join us?
