Summary/Abstract: Starting from the words of the metropolitan Callistos Ware, found in the work entitled “Man, Woman and the Priesthood of Christ”, who considers it necessary to distinguish “the signs of time” (Mt. 16,3), and be prepared to discover the dough in the Gospel, we will try to analyze, within this work, the place that the Christian woman occupied within the Church and show how valuable revitalization of some of the old ministrations would be. That is why the main subject of this work shall be the female deaconate and the possibility of its revival. The work shall be divided into two sections. One of them shall discuss the official positions held by women within the Church until the 13th century, while the other will reflect the issue of female deaconate and its current implications.
