Former LWF General Secretary Rev. Dr Ishmael Noko once wrote that “diakonia constitutes the ‘DNA’ i.e. the very being of what it means to be Church”. But what does Diakonia actually mean, and why is it so important for the church? If you would like to learn more about what Diakonia is, how it is theologically rooted, and why it matters to the church, have a look at our study document “Diakonia in Context”.
