RE-EMPHASIZING THE CONCEPT OF DIAKONIA IN THE HORIZON OF THE CHURCH'S MISSION

Summary/Abstract: The concept of diakonia has a history. It is not a term invented by Christians but rather adopted and redefined by the early developments of New Testament social theology. This article aims to explore the conceptual development of the word diakonia and the dimensions it incorporates. It should be noted that the use of the concept in this article does not refer to the ranks of clergy, but rather to how Christians and the Church socially and philanthropically respond to the needs and challenges of the times, highlighting the missionary dimension of the concept.
