Consultations on Diakonia 

The Porvoo Declaration states that the churches commit themselves "to work towards a common understanding of diaconal ministry". Two consultations have been held on the issue. The first focused on the understanding of the office of the diaconate the second explored the meaning of diaconia in a wider context.
