Scope and content

In the 1960s and 1970s commissioned ministry was undefined. After its formation in 1972, DMPE spearheaded efforts to define commissioned ministry in tandem with General Council’s efforts. DMPE was also responsible for providing support to members then Deaconesses, Certified Churchmen and Commissioned Ministers. By the 1980s Diaconal Ministry included the groups listed above and was defined as ministers commissioned to the Diaconal Ministry of Education, Service and Pastoral care. They were part of the one order of ministry in the United Church of Canada and involved in a wide variety of miniseries in congregations and in the community helping with administration and pastoral care.
