In this episode Tim Hopper, Shiloh OPC, Raleigh, NC deacon and CDM member, facilitates a discussion with fellow OPC deacons: Bob Keys, a deacon from Grace OPC in Columbus, Ohio, Doug Vos, deacon at Oakland Hills OPC in Farmington Hills, Michigan and John Voss, a deacon Covenant OPC, Orland Park, Illinois and a fellow CDM member.
These four men humbly share their experiences and wisdom as they discuss three diaconal cases. The first is about a couple who attends church regularly asking the deacons to provide cash, food or gas in exchange for working for the church. The second, a new member asks for a loan to purchase a car and the third, a man approaches a deacon asking for him to help provide an anonymous gift to a family in the church. Deacons, do you know what you would do?
The diaconal summits that Doug Vos refers to can be found on our website: OPCCDM.org and in audio form in previous episodes of The Reformed Deacon.
