Idea of having women deacons is for church 'crying for ministry', not 'power', speaker says

Dominican Sister Donna Ciangio, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Newark, N.J., speaks during a symposium on the history and future of women deacons Jan. 15 at Fordham University's Lincoln Center campus in New York City. The event was hosted by the Fordham Center on Religion and Culture.
