dc.description.abstractThe article shows that Ancient Churches, independently of each other, in different regions worked on a general idea of women's church ministry, which could be called differently, but everywhere had common features. Deaconesses were the only institutionalized women's community within the Ancient Church, which developed around III–IV centuries in the East. Their powers, despite the peculiarities rites of initiation were never associated with sacred religious service – in terms of status, deaconesses were close to subdeacons. In the West, deaconesses as women with practical responsibilities properties disappeared very quickly.
