There are consecration services… There is a difference between a Deaconess and a nurse. The work of a Deaconess is a service done for Christ’s sake…and includes other forms besides nursing the sick…A Deaconess may not marry while she is a Deaconess. But if at any time she wishes to give up her vocation and change her relation, she is at liberty to do so. Deaconesses form sisterhoods because their daily experience has taught that those who work together for a common cause must be united for in union there is strength…each receives a small monthly allowance for the defraying of small personal expenses.”—from Aug 16, 1957 p.6 Beatrice Daily Sun, Beatrice
