Zusammenfassung:This article examines the prospects for the interchangeability of Anglican and Methodist deacons in Britain with reference to the latest teaching document from the Methodist Church concerning the diaconate. Drawing on this resource, as well as the present ordinals of the Church of England and the Methodist Church, the article demonstrates how Anglicans and Methodists converge in their theological understanding that deacons participate in the martyria, diakonia and leitourgia of the Church - including the ministry of word and sacrament - in ways proper to their office and by virtue of their ordination. The article concludes by posing questions for further investigation concerning the relationship between the diaconate and presbyterate.
