Biblijne podstawy chrześcijańskiej diakonii

Abstract

All the members of the Church are called upon to diaconal service to Christ and people. This duty follows from their participation in Jesus’ royal dignity and from imitating Jesus the Servant Himself. Service, or deaconship, as John Paul II stresses in the encyclical Redernptor hominis, is part of the very essence of the Church. Owing to this attitude trium phalism is overcome in the Church, and Christ as a model becomes closer, as well as people in general do. The Church’s universal service has roots in the Bible. Everyone who has accepted Christ as his guide is to follow Him in his everyday realization of service to God and people.
