See Romans 16:1

Συνίστημι δὲ ὑμῖν Φοίβην τὴν ἀδελφὴν ἡμῶν οὖσαν διάκονον τῆς ἐκκλησίας τῆς ἐν Κεγχρεαῖς

Deaconesses were essentially only for baptisms of women when immersion baptisms and nudity were more of a norm in the practice.

Yep

Beggars belief that people conflate it with the role of the Deacon.

John Moschos talks about them in Pratum Spirituale

Fecking women, honestly.

He refers to them as diakonos

Romans calls them Diakonos

Other fathers call them diakonos

The role is literally deaconness

But it's limited obviously

@Quarantine_Zone

Very bored.

I wanted to go for a drink, but all of my friends would prefer to sleep.

Which, all things considered, isn't the worst idea at twenty to one in the morning.

The joys of working the late shift.

When anybody wants to go out, you're working. When you want to go out, everyone's sleeping.

It's really strange to arrive at a party with your own 350ml bottle of vodka for yourself lmao

still, good party

Is it? When I used to be stupid enough to go to house parties, everybody treated it as the norm to bring your own booze.

Yes, but usually you mix it or something

I felt it strange to drink directly from the bottle lmao

Vodka straight is *very* brave.

I rarely drink vodka. Only when I'm on a low budget.

Not really

Yeah I didn't really feel it that strong

Moonshine straight is brave

@Wrath knows all about my last time drinking vodka.

Moonshine is a meme.

Albeit it wasn't good vodka

Just tolerable

Wanted to try it

Seriously it smells like turpintine and tastes like a mouthful of broken glass. Never drink straight moonshine without a chaser

Stolichnaya

just to see what it actually tasted like

You really shouldn't drink any spirit straight, unless it's only one serving.

I know @Based Chav enjoys his vodka on the rocks.

I mean, it was enjoyable

@GodFearingEnglishman you're adorable drunk

That's one way of putting it.
