International Conference on Diakonia Education

Paper:  "The Parish as Agency of Diakonia: Faith and Service in Praxis"

The main question that this paper dealt with is the following:  How could the church make the concept and practice of diakonia that comes from apostolic times relevant to faith communities living in the 21st century?  The example of an Armenian parish in the Diaspora was presented as a case study to illustrate the building blocks of diaskonia in the formation of church communities.
