"As the reader will soon observe the topic of direct ordination has, over the last half dozen years, stimulated something of a public debate among the authors represented in this volume. .... NAAD [North American Association for the Diaconate] is pleased to have the opportunity to bring this material together and offer our own contribution to the debate. May it continue the enlightenment of the church and the enhancement of the ministry of all". -- Acknowledgements
