“Call us when the Orthodox put vestments on women and invite them into the sanctuary. “
They actually do have their own, unique vestments and do administer sacraments, unction and baptism for example and maybe others but they do not go into the altar so far as I know and likely haven’t for hundreds of years.
Really.......
My reading of Orthodox literature indicates that your church is on high alert for precisely the sort of innovation which will be discussed by the commission described in this article and the role of deaconesses in Orthodoxy is essentially non-existent, even in a non-liturgical role.
See HERE for example.
