1b. Answer: No. We do however from time to time recognize a female person who is unquestionably called to the order of Deacon. In which case, there are provisions for such a person to be ordained as a Deaconess without transition to any other order in the Church. This is the order that we refer to as the Permanent or Vocational Deaconate. These deacons are not to be ordained to the order of Priest or Bishop.
