"Deacons and the Church is a valuable addition to dialogues about ministry. It enables us to make a highly desirable synthesis of deacons as agents of the church, ordained to the mission of the bishop, and deacons as ministers of charity. Collins' arguments are challenging, and ultimately convincing." –Ormonde Plater, author of Deacons in the Liturgy

"...beneficial, not only to the deacons, but also to the congregations they serve."
—Rev. Frances S. Ryan, The Living Church
