Slava Isusu Christu!

The Syrian Orthodox Church is blessed with "deaconesses" who serve in a liturgical capacity - they form a choir of deaconesses. Whether they are formally ordained, or how ancient this tradition is, I do not know.

How does the Church feel today about this topic? Has anything new been stated on this topic?

Abba Isidore the Priest:
When I was younger and remained in my cell I set no limit to prayer; the night was for me as much the time of prayer as the day.
(p. 97, Isidore 4)
