It used to be that if an unmarried man became a deacon, they couldn't get married. Has that changed?

While i5 wish him well I believe his mental status is in question and not actually inspiring confidence in advice, whether spiritually or secularly.
I hope I’m wrong and he’s successful in his future.

His life was melting down. Drugs I assume.

Christians and catholics keep getting fooled with this nonsense.

I hope he came to saving faith in Christ and not just joined a church.

Churches don’t save.
Religious rituals don’t save.
Christ alone saves.

Being a deacon is a major commitment especially in today’s church where there a few deacons and few priest.

The work load can be enormous
