The Diaconal Care of Non-Poor Christians (3): The Example of Calvin's Geneva: The Funds

The Diaconal Care of Non-Poor Christians (3): The Example of Calvin's Geneva: The Funds

  • Popular
  • Douglas J. Kuiper

Diaconal work is always associated with caring for the poor. This article argues that this should not be the case. Deacons are also called to care for the non-poor. This is the third article in a five part series on the role of the deacon. This article discusses a church fund that existed in the time of John Calvin as an example of this diaconal work.

Lord, let me have no will of my own, or consider my true happiness as depending in the smallest degree on anything that can befall me outwardly, but as consisting altogether in conformity to Thy will. Henry Martyn
