Walls and Bridges: Bodmin to Broadmoor: A Journey Working in Mental Health

Product Information

Phoebe and Paul served as mutual ambassadors and reciprocal patrons. Paul introduced her as a woman of high standing, setting the stage for her to have a successful visit. He asked Roman believers to aid her in her visit, perhaps in a business way. Following on from Jesus’ example and his teachings on service, the apostle Paul also emphasised that the community of Christian believers was to be led and ministered to by servants (1 Cor. 3:5, 4:1). In accordance with this idea, he frequently uses the words diakonoi and diakonia (which are sometimes translated as “servants” and “service” respectively) for Christian ministers and a range of ministries. The English word “deacons” is a transliteration of the Greek word diakonoi. While some scholars believe Paul restricted the office of deacon to men, others do not based on their interpretation of 1 Timothy 3:11. When describing the qualities that the office-holders called "deacons" must possess, Paul wrote gunaikas hosautos, which is translated by some as "likewise the women." The "likewise" could indicate that female deacons are to live according to the same standards as male deacons (see also the Apostle Paul's use of the term "likewise" in Romans 1:27, 1 Cor. 7:3,4,22, and Titus 2:3,6). [18] [19] The predominant view holds that this verse refers not to female deacons, but instead to the wives of deacons. See, for example, the KJV rendering: "Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things." [20] prostatis [ edit ] Paul’s inclusion of the pronoun “our” ( hēmōn) would have helped to promote a ready acceptance of Phoebe into the community of Roman Christians: Phoebe is not just Paul’s sister, a recommendation in itself, but the sister of all followers of Jesus, including those in Rome. When used in reference to a specific individual, however, Paul typically used the term “brother” or “sister” for a fellow minister or prominent Christian (e.g. Quartus in Rom. 16:23; Titus in 2 Cor. 2:13; Apphia in Phlm. 1:2). a b "Great Britain Statistics at englandrl.co.uk". englandrl.co.uk. 31 December 2017.

Endearingly calling her “our sister,” Paul claims Phoebe as family. Church Father John Chrysostom (347–407 C.E.), Bishop of Constantinople, observed that honoring Phoebe thusly was “no slight thing” (Branch 2019:4).

I went Broadmoor where they encouraged me to do an NVQ. I was one of the first ones to do that. Broadmoor loved St Lawrence’s staff because we had good skills and the same ethos for caring for patients. In the end I enrolled on a counselling course. I also did a medication course which is when they told that I should apply for nurse training." First, the KJV: “I commend to you Phebe, our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succorer of many, and of myself also.” Deacon played in the 2011 Challenge Cup Final 28–18 victory over the Leeds Rhinos at Wembley Stadium.

Phoebe as DiakonosIt is anachronistic to call Phoebe, a first-century woman, a deaconess. Moreover, English translations that incorrectly render the word diakonos as “deaconess” give “the inaccurate impression that Paul is drawing a distinction of roles based on gender.” Kristina LaCelle-Peterson, Liberating Tradition: Women’s Identity and Vocation in Christian Perspective (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2008), 62.

Macy, Gary. "John Nobili, SJ, Chair of Theology, Santa Clara University". National Catholic Reporter . Retrieved May 17, 2020. In Acts 9:36-42 there is a short narrative about a woman named Tabitha, also known as Dorcas. She is described as a female disciple ( mathētria) who was “devoted to good works and acts of charity” (Acts 9:36 NRSV). Widows were among those she helped with her good works, which included making, or organising the making of, clothes for the poor. Ben Witherington notes that “Luke seems to depict Tabitha as at least moderately well-off and single (unmarried or widowed). . . [with a] specialized and ongoing ministry …” And he suggests that the main reason for recording Tabitha’s story “is that Luke wishes to reveal how a woman functioned as a deaconess, a very generous supporter of widows.”[15] Tabitha, however, is never referred to with any diakon– words in Acts, so she may not have been recognised as a deacon in her church.

However, deacon , as it evolved and is now recognized, became part of ecclesiastical governance only in the fourth century (Jankiewicz 2013:11). This first-century C.E. leader of the early Christian community makes a cameo appearance in Romans 16:1–2. Paul graciously introduces her to fellow believers in Rome. Paul’s words establish Phoebe’s high standing in Cenchrea, her home city located near Corinth, and with him. They assure a ready welcome among like-minded followers of Jesus. Warm, personalized greetings to more than two dozen men and women follow, ending his epistle.
