Deacon. And I'm Getting the Sauce.

The word Deacon refers to a Christian designated to serve with the overseers slash elders of the church in a variety of ways. Phoebe is easy to read over her blah blah blah whole bunch of names at the end of Romans, just as a servant. But if we know these different contextual layers to these different words for servant, you know, she's not just an XYZ,. Not just someone on the fringes that Paul wanted to say an extra thanks do, but someone potentially significant in her community.
