The People of God have very spe- cial needs and very special require- ments in this first decade of the sec- ond half of the 20th Century. Per- haps even more so, the unchurched of this period have very special needs. It is not inconceivable that properly thought out and properly program- med, the permanent diaconate could have the decisive voice in bridging an ever widening gap between those who have made a formal acceptance of an established religion and those to whom religion is a meaningless af- fectation.
