Generally a diaconal minister is part of a ministry team at a community of faith, where the ordained minister leads worship and the diaconal minister concentrates on education. However, due to a shortage of clergy in certain parts of Canada, there are communities of faith where a diaconal minister is the only minister. Upon commissioning, a diaconal minister is not automatically able to administer the sacraments of Baptism and Communion, but can apply to the appropriate Regional Council for permission to do so if part of their work will be in leading worship. Although technically there is no gender restriction, the majority of diaconal ministers commissioned to date have been women.

When vdp in early 1969 was moved to prophesy callings for the diaconal ministry, vB called for resistance: deacons should be chosen by the congregation, wherefore prophesied callings were un-biblical. Moreover, according to him, only prophets were authorised to prophesy callings. He neglected to mention that shortly before he had rejected the restoring of sub-deacons and had prevented a proposed diaconal election.

At the 42nd General Council in 2015, a proposal was accepted that would see ordained ministers, diaconal ministers and Designated Lay Ministers combined into one order of ministry. Candidates for ministry would be able to choose one of the three educational paths now open to ordained, diaconal and DLMs, but regardless of education, all candidates would be ordained when they graduate and would be considered equal in every respect. Since this was considered a "denomination changing" proposal, it had to be approved by both a majority of congregations and a majority of presbyteries.

In the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS), and the Independent Evangelical-Lutheran Church (Germany), only pastors wear the stole, as there is only the one order of ordination, that of pastor, in these Lutheran traditions. (The office of bishop for Episcopal polity and president for Congregational Polity is not a separate order of ordination.) Diaconal ministers, the ELCA's equivalent to the deacon, generally do not wear the stole, but sometimes will wear the traditional deacon's stole while performing liturgical functions traditional to the diaconal order. However, in certain Lutheran Churches where people are ordained to the diaconal ministry, such as in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, wearing a deacon's stole when assisting in a liturgy is an official rule. The Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Sweden clergy follow the use described for Anglican deacons and priests in this article, except the practice of wearing the stole hanging straight down is reserved for bishops (priests wear it crossed over the chest except over a surplice, when no cincture is worn).

An ordained minister leads the community of faith in worship, preaches, administers the sacraments, provides leadership to the congregation and spiritual support to those who are ill or in need, as well as acting as the face of the congregation to the wider community. An ordained minister is ex officio approved to administer the sacraments of Baptism and Communion and may use the honorific style "The Reverend". A diaconal minister — "diaconal" comes from the Greek word diakonia, which means "service among others" — focuses on education and enabling the congregation to work together toward a vision of justice and wholeness in the world. This new stream of ministry was approved at the 29th General Council in 1980.

Bishops with diocesan responsibilities, however, are created cardinal priests.

The Methodist Diaconal Order (MDO) currently admits both men and women to the Order.

The Order of Saint Luke is a religious order in the United Methodist Church dedicated to sacramental and liturgical scholarship, education, and practice.

Lay presidency is a form of celebrating the Lord's Supper (sometimes called the Eucharist) whereby the person presiding over the sacrament is not an ordained minister of religion. Similarly, when the celebrant is a deacon rather than a presbyter, the term diaconal presidency is used. Most independent Christian churches have a form of lay presidency as part of their communal worship. Mainstream denominations have been less inclined to allow lay people to preside over the sacrament, preferring to use ordained ministers or priests for this role.

When assisting at a normal baptism, it is often the deacon who goes down into the water with the one being baptized (). In contrast to the Roman Catholic Church, deacons in the Eastern Churches may not preside at the celebration of marriages, as in Eastern theology the sacrament is conferred by the nuptial blessing of a priest. Diaconal vestments are the sticharion (dalmatic), the orarion (deacon's stole), and the epimanikia (cuffs). The last are worn under his sticharion, not over it as does a priest or bishop.

In the 1830s initiatives within German Lutheranism started the creation of communities of men and especially of women who were dedicated exclusively to the works of charity so desperately needed in the wake of social dislocations created by industrialization and the Napoleonic wars. By the 1930s such institutions had opened in many cities in central and northern Europe. The geographical spread was accompanied by the growth of a distinctively modern diaconal spirituality centered on the servant roles of the deacon and deaconess in their meeting the needs of the poor and the destitute.

They handed in 300 signatures, what made the consistory to change its mind. In order to pacify the situation, it refused any reappointment on 23 November.Sandvoß, 2003, pp. 247–seq. Only in 1942 the presbytery succeeded and the German Christian pastor Johannes Hoffmann was appointed, coming from Mount of Olives Church in Berlin- Kreuzberg. Among the signatories we find the names of Vicar Kersten, the bookkeeper Dora Mechur, and Pastor Hans Urner (1901–1986; chaplain at the diaconal senior home Paul Gerhardt Stift in the years 1935–1953).

The German knights built a road through the Muristan from north to south, calling it Prince Frederick William Street, and the property became the centre of the German colony in Jerusalem. Beginning in 1841, German Protestant Christians came to Palestine to support the Christian minority in the area through diaconal and missionary work. The German government contributed to the process of removing rubble in the area and rebuilding. In the late 1800s, they rebuilt the Crusader church of St. Mary Latina as the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer (Erlöserkirche).

The Centre for Christian Studies is historically rooted in the diaconal training schools of the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Anglican churches established in Canada in the late nineteenth century. The Social Gospel movement combined with the influence of early feminism, which was fighting for more vocational opportunities for women, as well as the increasing need of churches to fill overseas missionary sites were the major impetuses for the formation of these schools. In 1893, the Methodist National Training Centre was opened and the Presbyterian Missionary and Deaconess Training Home followed in 1897.

When cholera broke out in Hamburg in 1831, she volunteered to work as a nurse in the poorhouses. She advertised for other high-ranking women to join her, but none did, so she went alone. Soon she found herself in charge of the nursing staff. On May 23, 1832, with twelve other women, instead of a religious society she founded the Weiblicher Verein für Armen- und Krankenpflege, a pioneering diaconal benevolent society that aimed to help people help themselves by providing "material and spiritual assistance" to impoverished sick people and their families.

He was also registrar of the Diocese of Chicago from 1894 to 1913 and was church counsel in the trial of Algernon Sidney Crapsey in 1906. In 1913, General Theological Seminary elected him as its professor of dogmatic theology, a position he retained until his retirement in 1928.

Christ Presbyterian Church, Akropong, Ghana Presbyterianism arrived in Africa in the 19th century through the work of Scottish missionaries and founded churches such as St Michael and All Angels Church, Blantyre, Malawi. The church has grown extensively and now has a presence in at least 23 countries in the region. African Presbyterian churches often incorporate diaconal ministries, including social services, emergency relief, and the operation of mission hospitals. A number of partnerships exist between presbyteries in Africa and the PC(USA), including specific connections with Lesotho, Cameroon, Malawi, South Africa, Ghana and Zambia.

Claus Wagener, "Die Vorgeschichte des Kirchenkampfes", p. 33. William II and his wife Augusta Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg, who presided over the Evangelical Association for the Construction of Churches, often financed church construction for poor congregations and promoted massive programmes of church constructions especially in workers' districts, but could not increase the attraction of the State Church for the workers. However, it earned the queen the nickname Kirchen-Juste. More impetus reached the charitable work of the State Church, which was much carried by the Inner Mission and the diaconal work of deaconesses.

In the Methodist Church of Great Britain, deacons (a term used for both men and women) are members of an order called the Methodist Diaconal Order (MDO). The MDO is both a religious order and an order of ministry (or in other words, an order of clerics regular). One distinctive feature of the Methodist ecclesiology is that a deacon has a permanent ministry and remains as a deacon – it is not a transitional step toward becoming a presbyter. The diaconate is seen as an equal but offering something different from that of the presbyteral ministry.

Founded by women, the original purpose of Ewart was to prepare women for missionary service. In later years, it focused on diaconal ministry and Christian and lay education. Following the Presbyterian Church in Canada's decision to ordain women as Ministers in 1966, the college admitted male students in the 1970s, and in 1991, along with the merger with Knox College, many Ewart graduates have taken further studies to become ordained within the Presbyterian Church. Ewart Chapel, housed within the Chapel at Knox College, is named after Ewart College, along with the McKay Educational Resource Room.

The Pentecostal Foreign Mission of Norway is the third largest Norwegian Missionary Society, and has involvement in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. The Mission's main task is evangelism and to establish new churches (church planting). But along with this work, social and humanitarian work has always been important for their mission organization. There have been diaconal work, construction and operation of schools, translation of literature, developing writing where it lacked, training and knowledge of agriculture, water, medical offices, health and other assistance to improve the welfare of the communities.

As the cardinalate was a rank rather than one of the priestly orders, Charles hoped that Henry might yet make a politically advantageous marriage, and was dismayed to discover that his brother had been ordained a priest on 1 September 1748. Later that month, Henry was made Cardinal-Priest, retaining his diaconal church. In 1751, he was made Arch-Priest of the Vatican Basilica. Louis XV of France bestowed on the Cardinal the abbeys of Auchin and St. Amand as compensation for having had to evict his brother pursuant to the terms of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle.

Seminarians are formed through Solus Christi Seminary whose formation program is affiliated with our jurisdiction's major seminary, the International Seminary of Saint Basil, Quito, Ecuador. All seminarians are expected to complete a Bachelor's Degree in a discipline which would facilitate their earning a living so that they would not pose a burden on the parishes/parishioners for whom they will eventually minister as either priests or deacons. After completing their Bachelor Degrees, seminarians may advance to theological studies and to diaconal and/or priestly formation. Solus Christi Brothers currently has foundations (sketes) in the United States and in Ukraine.

These societies provided an opportunity to women of higher echelons of society to help in diaconal work without being designated as deaconesses. Already in 1840 Sieveking had declined the position of a superintendent of the in Berlin, offered to her by Pastor Fliedner of Kaiserswerth. Sieveking Mausoleum in the Old Cemetery in Hamburg-Hamm In 1836, Theodor Fliedner was influenced by Sieveking when he established the first Protestant hospital in Kaiserswerth, which evolved into a leading modern nursing school. He was also responsible for establishing the deaconesses in Germany, as an order of nurses which attracted widespread enrollment and recognition.

An Anglican priest vested as a deacon with an alb and a purple stole over his left shoulder In Anglican churches, including the Free Church of England, deacons are permitted to marry freely before or after ordination, as are Anglican priests. Most deacons are "transitional", that is, preparing for the priesthood and they are usually ordained priests about a year after their diaconal ordination. However, there are some deacons who do not go on to receive priestly ordination, so-called "permanent deacons" or “vocational deacons”. Many provinces of the Anglican Communion ordain both women and men as deacons.

In 1969 LTS, ESC and SAC established a Graduate School of Theology which would later be known as the Saskatoon Theological Union. In the late 80s, LTS introduced a non-ordination Master of Theological Studies (MTS) Program and a graduate-level Master of Pastoral Counseling (MPC). When the ELCIC approved the diaconal ministry roster, the Seminary began to develop a program to address the academic needs of these students. The seminary, in conjunction with the ELCIC’s Candidate Committees and the national Program Committee for Leadership in Ministry (PCLM), helps coordinate the recruitment and discernment process for candidates for pastoral leadership.

In 1851, the first nurse training course in Sweden was launched by Marie Cederschiöld under the auspices of Ersta diakoni. The first socially oriented programme at national level began at the turn of the last century in the form of diaconal training at the Stora Sköndal Foundation. Today Ersta Sköndal Bräcke University College is owned by Ersta diakoni, Stora Sköndal Foundation and Bräcke diakoni, divided into three campuses located in Södermalm, Stockholm, Stora Sköndal, south of Stockholm and Hisingen, Gothenburg. The historical background has resulted in human health, welfare, and vulnerability being the focus of study and explains how research fields have developed and given the university its specific profile.

Fábio at a concert in 2011. With reference to Father Zezinho, SCJ, precursor of the singer priests since the 1960s, Father Fábio de Melo released his first CD, in 1997, entitled "De Deus um cantador". Then "Saudades do Céu", with the participation of several Catholic artists, bringing together the singers of his congregation, such as Father Zezinho and Father Joãozinho, included in the CD "Sing Heart", a tribute to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Upon receiving diaconal ordination, he composes "Seasons of Life," which would become the opening music of his live performances, especially after the release of the DVD Eu e o Tempo.

Over the decades that followed she was responsible for training numerous young women and deaconesses for work in a range of social and diaconal fields. That included community care work, nursery school work, hospital/infirmary work and positions in care homes for physically handicapped and deaf-mute children. Nearly 150 years later the Oberlin House still occupies the same premises in Potsdam and continues to focus on the priorities that were established when Thusnelda von Saldern was in charge. In 1905 she retired from her position at Oberlin House, relocating to the "Buchenhaus" Hospice in Grenzdorf bei Weigandsthal (Silesia) where she worked as a "house mother".

The councils of Orange in 441 and Orléans in 533 directly targeted the role of the deaconesses, forbidding their ordination. By at least the 9th or 10th century, nuns were the only women ordained as deacons. Evidence of diaconal ordination of women in the West is less conclusive from the 9th to the early 12th centuries than for previous eras, although it does exist and certain ceremonials were retained in liturgy books to modern times. In Constantinople and Jerusalem, there is enough of a historical record to indicate that the diaconate including women continued to exist as an ordained order for most if not all of this period.

Also all the diaconal ministers, home missioners and the deaconesses under Episcopal appointment are lay members. When there are multiple congregations in a charge conference, members from each congregation in that charge are encouraged to become at- large members. After all lay members who hold their seat by virtue of office or position are seated and if additional lay members are needed the annual conference will elect any active United Methodist lay person who is interested in holding that position. Among their other duties the annual conference elects delegates to the general, jurisdictional and central conferences, and votes on amendments to the church constitution.

The four members of the Community where he lived were evicted too and asked the local bishop to intervene. The Community responded that they were evicted not because they disclosed the case (as they state) but “due to their persistent refusal to obey the Community’s decision to close this house for financial and pastoral reasons.” In October 2008, the Direction centrale de la police judiciaire also investigated after complaints of sexual abuses and the suicide of a teenage alumnus of a Private High-School entrusted to the Community of the Beatitudes in east of France. In 2008 Gérard Croissant was relieved of the exercise of diaconal ministry and forced to leave the community.

Once a person interested in ministry has completed the discernment process at the congregational and Regional Council levels, there are various educational requirements to be met. A person wishing to be an ordained minister must usually already have a bachelor's degree and earn a Masters of Divinity (MDiv) at one of five approved theological schools. Although there is no undergraduate degree requirement for a person wishing to be commissioned as a diaconal minister, the candidate must earn a certificate through a four-year program with the Winnipeg-based Centre for Christian Studies that includes semi-annual 16-day "Learning Circles" and a field placement at an educational, pastoral or social justice site in the student's home community.

The Bethel Foundation, officially the Bodelschwingh Foundation Bethel ( as of 2009, previously v. Bodelschwinghsche Anstalten Bethel) is a diaconal (i.e. Protestant charitable) psychiatric hospital in Bethel, formerly a town, today a neighbourhood of Bielefeld, Germany. Logo of the foundation 300x300px The healthcare foundation was established in 1867 as Evangelische Heil- und Pflegeanstalt für Epileptische (Protestant institute of healing and care for epileptics) in Gadderbaum, today a locality of Bielefeld. In 1872 Pastor Friedrich von Bodelschwingh, Senior, a proponent of the inner mission within the then Evangelical State Church in Prussia became its director. He massively strengthened and extended the institution, with more premises also for the poor and at other locations, and renamed it after Bethel in 1874.

Historical research in the second half of the 20th century began to question the uncritical historical view of Pauline. Elizabeth Stolle asked in her contribution to Lippischen Mitteilungen aus Geschichte und Landeskunde, 1969 questions about the Pauline's religious stance, in order to obtain a better understanding of her diaconal interests. In a survey conducted by the at the end of 2009, Princess Pauline was elected as the most significant figure in the history of Lippe, with 28 percent of the votes cast. Former state president Heinrich Drake finished second with 22 percent, the third place was tied between Arminius, winner of the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, and ex- Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, with 9 percent of the votes each.

There is no formal habit or uniform for a Methodist deacon: some deacons may decide to wear what is regarded as ‘traditional dress’ for the MDO – a navy blue suit and a white shirt of blouse, particularly for formal occasions, while others may feel that they would prefer to wear the polo shirts and sweat shirts commissioned by the MDO particularly if the circumstances are less formal. Deacons are permitted to wear clerical shirts; however, these must be navy blue or white and deacons must wear the diaconal order badge they were presented with at their Ordination. Deacons are presented with a pectoral cross at their ordination. The cross of the MDO is an important identifier for Methodist deacons.

Cantwell was born in New York in 1967; when she was in grade two, the family moved to the Canadian Prairies. Her mother being Methodist and her father Roman Catholic, she was raised in the Anglican church, but left it when she was in her twenties. Cantwell became involved in social justice issues such as the anti-apartheid movement of the late 1980s, and in 1993, the United Church of Canada sent her to South Africa as an international observer through the World Council of Churches. Cantwell joined the United Church in the 1990s, and began to work for the Centre for Christian Studies in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where she met her future spouse, Laura Fouhse, a diaconal minister of the United Church.

As of 2005, there were over 50 churches recognized as cardinalatial deaconries, though there were only 30 cardinals of the order of deacons. Cardinal deacons have long enjoyed the right to "opt for the order of cardinal priests" (optazione) after they have been cardinal deacons for 10 years. They may on such elevation take a vacant "title" (a church allotted to a cardinal priest as the church in Rome with which he is associated) or their diaconal church may be temporarily elevated to a cardinal priest's "title" for that occasion. When elevated to cardinal priests, they take their precedence according to the day they were first made cardinal deacons (thus ranking above cardinal priests who were elevated to the college after them, regardless of order).

In the Roman Catholic Church, the Holy See, through the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (headed as of February 2015 by Cardinal Prefect Robert Sarah), has published an official guide and directory for use by bishops, priests, and deacons, who are charged with the ministry of preaching by virtue of their ordination, and for those studying the subject, among others seminarians and those in diaconal formation, called the Homiletic Directory.Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Homiletic Directory, Vatican City, 2014 The Directory was developed in response to a request made by participants in the Synod of Bishops held in 2008 on the Word of God, and in accordance with the instructions of Pope Benedict XVI.

Ornately embroidered dalmatic, the proper vestment of the deacon (shown from the back with an appareled amice) The period of formation to the permanent diaconate varies from diocese to diocese as determined by the local ordinary, but it usually entails a period of prayerful preparation and several years of study. Diaconal candidates receive instruction in philosophy, theology, study of the Bible, homiletics, sacramental studies, evangelization, ecclesiology, counseling, and pastoral care and ministry before ordination. They may be assigned to work in a parish by the diocesan bishop, where they are under the supervision of the parish pastors, or in diocesan ministries. Unlike most clerics, permanent deacons who also have a secular profession have no right to receive a salary for their ministry,Canon 281 § 3.

In 1996, Pope John Paul II elevated him to the rank of auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Newark. From 1998 until 2001 he chaired the Migration Committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. DiMarzio spent his diaconal year at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Newark (1969-1970).

At its 2011 General Assembly, the Church of Scotland voted to allow openly gay and lesbian Ministers and Diaconal ministers who live in civil unions, provided that they were already ordained and had declared their sexuality before the Scott Rennie case on 23 May 2009. There remains, however, a Moratorium on accepting those in same-sex relationships for training, ordination or induction into the Ministry or Diaconate, which may be lifted by the General Assembly of 2013. When asked to respond to the Scottish Government's consultation on same-sex marriage, the Church's Legal Questions Committee submitted a response which upheld a biblical and traditional understanding of marriage as a voluntary lifelong union between one man and one woman (December 2011). After this, the Church's first openly gay minister, Revd.

That he may more fittingly and perfectly fulfill these functions, he is to meditate assiduously on sacred Scripture. :Aware of the office he has undertaken, the reader is to make every effort and employ suitable means to acquire that increasingly warm and living love and knowledge of Scripture that will make him a more perfect disciple of the Lord. Canon 1035 of the Code of Canon Law requires candidates for diaconal ordination to have received and have exercised for an appropriate time the ministries of lector and acolyte and prescribes that institution in the second of these ministries must precede by at least six months ordination as a deacon. Instituted lectors, who are all men, are obliged, when proclaiming the readings at Mass, to wear an alb (with cincture and amice unless the form of the alb makes these unnecessary).

One area of conflict for Evangelical Christians in mainline churches is that, while the sacrament is a symbolic preaching of the gospel, only authorized and ordained ministers may preside, whereas non- ordained people are not allowed to do this, despite being allowed to preach the gospel in some cases. This may be seen as elevating the importance of the sacrament over the preaching of the gospel - that the symbolic preaching is more important than the literal. Evangelical elements in some mainline churches, for example the Diocese of Sydney within the Anglican Church of Australia, are considering introducing lay presidency due to this. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada authorise lay and diaconal presidency in certain extraordinary circumstances, within a finite time period and location and in the United Methodist Church lay presidency is the norm.

Wall tomb of Pius III in Sant'Andrea della Valle On the morning of 26 September, the newly elected pope underwent an operation on his ulcerous left leg, enduring the pain of cutting in two places. The papal secretary and client of the Della Rovere family, Sigismondo de' Conti, blamed the surgeon, Ludovico Minatensis, and his bad work on the Pope's leg, for Pius' death: "e vita migravit ex ulcere tibiae sinistrae, quod Ludovicus Minatensis imperitus chirugus, sincera etiam parte secata, laethale effecit." Next day, he announced that he would not carry out the ceremony of the possession of his cathedral on the day of the coronation, as the custom was, because of his lameness.This was the ceremony called the Possessio. Burchard, p. 280. Piccolomini was never ordained a priest, remaining in diaconal orders, until 30 September 1503, when he finally received ordination.

Gustavo Gabucci was born in Buenos Aires in 1965. He completed his ministerial and priestly formation at the Roman Catholic Major Seminary at La Plata (capital city of Buenos Aires Province), gaining a degree in philosophy from the Universidad Católica Argentina (Argentine Catholic University) in addition to theological studies. He received the Minor Orders from Bishop (later Cardinal) Quarracino, but left the seminary, disillusioned with the Roman Church's stance on issues of personal freedom and lifestyle choice, shortly before Diaconal ordination. In 1991 he was ordained into the Brazilian Order of San Andres (St Andrew), founded as a non-denominational Christian Catholic congregation in 1928 by Reverend Salomao Barbosa Ferraz, a former Anglican and Presbyterian minister, later ordained and consecrated Bishop by Carlos Duarte Costa, and admitted as a Bishop to the Roman Catholic Church in 1958.

CDU 7th party convention in Weimar, 23 September 1954 With his contacts from Dachau to communists, in 1949 the Evangelical Church in Germany, the umbrella of the regional churches, appointed Grüber as its plenipotentiary with the Council of Ministers of the GDR where he could – at least to some extent – soften many of the ever-increasing anti-clerical measurements of the communist regime to be established in the East, until the communist rulers of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) finally dropped him in May 1958.Heinrich Grüber.

Ruth Gledhill, religious affairs correspondent of The Times, said that the announcement could prompt "hundreds, possibly thousands" of lay ministers to follow the bishops' example. She added: "It's quite significant as it means the ordinariate – that quite a few people have been saying might not get off the ground – could be a force to be reckoned with." On 19 November 2010, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales announced that work was proceeding with a view to establishing an ordinariate in January 2011. It also said that the five Anglican bishops would receive ordination to the Catholic diaconate and priesthood at about the same time and would then assist in the reception of other Anglicans probably in Holy Week, followed during Eastertide by diaconal ordinations and priestly ordination around Pentecost of those former Anglican clergy whose requests for ordination would have been accepted by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

In 1130, under Urban II, all the classes were permitted to take part in papal elections; up to this point, only cardinal-bishops had this role. From the 13th to 15th centuries, the size of the College of Cardinals never exceeded thirty, although there were more than thirty parishes and diaconal districts which could potentially have a titular holder; Pope John XXII (1316–1334) formalized this norm by limiting the college to twenty members. In the ensuing century, increasing the size of the College became a method for the pope to raise funds for construction or war, cultivate European alliances, and dilute the strength of the college as a spiritual and political counterweight to papal supremacy. The conclave capitulation of the papal conclave, 1352 limited the size of the college to twenty, and decreed that no new cardinals could be created until the size of the college had dropped to 16; however, Pope Innocent VI declared the capitulation invalid the following year.Baumgartner, 2003, pp. 52–54.

After the Tapiau (Gvardeysk) infirmary () released 200 patients for the lack of housing capacity in 1881, the Superintendent of Rastenburg, Christian Klapp (1832-1905), initiated a support program and bought the estate of Carlshof near Rastenburg. On 4 November 1881 the Lutheran provincial synod decided to support the project and in October 1882 (or 1883) the first 36 epileptic patients were accommodated in Carlshof. Thirty of them initially originated from East and West Prussia and returned from the Bethel Foundation near Bielefeld. Bethel and the concept of Inner Mission remained the role model of the Carlshof Institutions. In 1884, accommodations for up to 150 homeless were built, and in 1890, an asylum for alcoholics was added. In 1905, a reformatory for 80 adolescents was added. In 1898, the Carlshof Institutions housed 554 patients. A tuberculosis ward and quarters for the educations of deacons of the Inner Mission completed the Diaconal Institutions. At the start of World War I, Carlshof consisted of acreage in agricultural use for occupational therapy and housed 1,500 patients. Carlshof was partially damaged in August 1914 and occupied by Russian troops until early September 1914, the harvest was largely destroyed by a fire.

It is to a considerable degree the Church of recent immigrants, mainly Irish and Italians (with an additional influx of Poles during WWII, in the later part of the book). Above all, it is predominantly a poor people's Church which is itself a poor church, run on a shoestring. The book begins with Father Smith going a great distance on his bicycle, commuting between two far-flung locations where he has to officiate at services; a few chapters later, Priest and Bishop travel by public transportation since the Diaconal funds do not run to a taxi; the Bishop lives in a modest demi- detached house, though for courtesy it is dubbed "The Bishop's Palace"... Father Smith is not intimidated by either prejudice or poverty - remarking that suffering a bit of persecution can help to strengthen one's faith, and that the poverty of the Scottish Catholic Church places it closer to the situation of Primitive Christianity. When hit on his head by a jagged stone thrown by bigots, and needing weeks of hospitalization, he considers that the incident can be useful in generating sympathy for the Catholics among the town's mainstream Protestants.
