The Moravian Church ordained two new deacons for the municipality of Bluefields and one for Laguna de Perlas. The ordination took place at an ecumenical event held last Sunday in Pearl Lagoon. Bishop Oliver Hodgson presided, and important authorities of the South Caribbean were present.
The newly appointed deacons were named as Alicia Helena Kelly, Darriel Bennet Wilson and Dariel Bennet Ramírez. The source states that Ramírez served as a pastor, and it describes the newly appointed deacons as having served as pastors. The source does not give further detail on their backgrounds.
The deacons will now lead the church in Tasbapouni and the churches in Bluefields. Their responsibilities include presiding over liturgical acts under Moravian decrees. According to the source, these acts include marriages, Holy Communion and other sacraments.
Gathering across church lines for the ordination, the event reflected the call for unity among believers (John 17:21).
