About this book

Jane M. Bancroft, a Ph.D., wrote this 1890 study of women's church service, with an introduction by Edward G. Andrews, a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It opens with the idea of the diaconate and then traces deaconesses in the early church, where Chrysostom and Olympias appear.

It moves on to the Béguines and the Sisters of the Common Life, then to Fliedner, who restored the office in Germany, and the institutions at Kaiserswerth. The author says she consulted original sources wherever she could, and her note is dated June 1889.
