Discerning Deacons give hope to the Church. Ordained women are critical and necessary. Lay women and Nuns already do the work of deacons throughout the world. Official Church sanctioning (ordination) would only confirm what is already happening.

Fifty percent of the Church's voices go unheard from the pulpit. This frustrates the work of the Holy Spirit. The Church is under-served because of it.

In 2019, I wrote a letter to every Bishop in the United States referencing the need for the ordination of women. There was no response. Now, through Discerning Deacons, there is serious momentum.

A couple years ago I heard about Casey and Ellie of Discerning Deacons Apostolate and Community and have been a participant of their Zoom meetings ever since.
