Diakonisse (English spelling)

Japanese: ディアコニッセ(英語表記)Diakonisse
Diakonisse (English spelling)
Generally, it is a German word that refers to female deacons or deacons, but more specifically, it refers to members of the Diaconisse training school founded in 1836 by Lutheran pastor Th. Friedner in Kaiserswerth, Germany, and its branches established in Europe and the United States. It is a church-approved system that is a revised and revived version of the female deacons that were famous in the early church and date back to the New Testament. In most cases, they remain single for life, live communally, and engage in social work, parish service, education, etc., with a focus on nursing. After World War II, the international organization Diakonia was organized. Following this model, various forms of female deacons have been revived in Protestant churches. In Japan, Japanese Diaconisse are active, centered around the Hamamatsu Diaconisse Mother House and the Bethesda Sisters of Service Mother House (Tokyo, Tateyama).

一般には女性の助祭もしくは執事をさすドイツ語であるが,特殊的には,1836年ドイツのカイザースベルトで,ルター派の牧師 Th.フリートナーが創設したディアコニッセ養成所およびその後欧米に設けられたその支部のメンバーをいう。新約聖書にさかのぼるとされ初期教会に有名であった女性執事を修正復活した教会公認の制度で,多くの場合終生独身で共同生活を営み,看護を中心に社会事業,教区奉仕,教育などに従事する。第2次世界大戦後国際機関ディアコニアが組織された。これにならってプロテスタント諸教会でも種々な形の女性執事が復活している。日本でも,浜松ディアコニッセ母の家,ベテスダ奉仕女母の家 (東京,館山) などを中心として日本人ディアコニッセの活動がなされている。
