The article addresses the reflection on female diaconate from the early centuries to the instituted ministries in 2021, highlighting the participation of women in the ministries of lector and acolyte, as well as the presence of deaconesses in the early Church. It questions the need to restore a service-ministry for women, emphasizing the importance of including women in ministries and the true identity of the Church. It is emphasized that service is not a right, but a duty, and the importance of a renewed theology on the human person is raised to reflect on ministries in the Church. [Extracted from the article]
