DIAKONIA of the Americas and Caribbean

DOTAC conferences

DOTAC Regional Conferences are held every four years, as planned by the Central Committee. They provide opportunities for fellowship, learning, celebration, and decision making. The number of voting delegates for each member association and sisterhood is determined by a ratio of its membership.

Since the first conference in 1968, every effort has been made by the members to become acquainted with one another. The diaconate in each church varies in terms of its relationship to the denominational structure and in types of service. Many denominations now include men, as well as women, in the diaconal ministry of their churches. Fundamental to all, is personal commitment to Jesus Christ and the decision to articulate this commitment through a quality of life and a vocational task responsive to the needs of persons and society within the life of the church.
