Dear Friends,

I am supporting FutureChurch's campaign to restore women to the diaconate of the Latin Rite Catholic Church.  I hope you will join me in this step to advance women's leadership in the Church.

Please take a minute to send a postcard and show your support as well.

http://www.futurechurch.org/fpm/optcel/womendeacons/ (May take a moment to connect.)

FutureChurch is asking you to send a postcard to Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller Prefect, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, with copies to Pope Benedict XVI, Claudio Cardinal Hummes Prefect, Congregation of the Clergy, Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera, Prefect Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, Cardinal Kurt Koch, President, Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, and your local bishop.

Women’s voices are silenced in our churches, creating significant pastoral challenges to evangelizing 21st century women and men accustomed to seeing women in professional, corporate and civil leadership roles. If we wish to reach the next generation, Catholic preaching must reflect the gender balance found in Jesus and St. Paul's inclusive practice.
 
Opening the permanent diaconate to women would allow women to preach and exercise other important ministries on behalf of the People of God, under the guidance of their bishops.
