DIAKONIA of the Americas and Caribbean
Leading the church in compassion and justice
An ecumenical group of Christian diaconal communities in North America, the Caribbean, Central America, & South America.
DIAKONIA of the Americas and Caribbean (DOTAC) is one of three regional groups of the DIAKONIA World Federation of Diaconal Associations and Diaconal Communities, which furthers the understanding of the diaconate, provides a network of mutual relationships crossing church traditions and cultural boundaries, and provides a forum for discussion of diaconal issues including social justice and reconciliation.
DIAKONIA offers an international and ecumenical community of diaconal friendship, connecting us in diversity and commonality.
DIAKONIA broadens our worldview and deepens our sense of diaconal vocation.
DIAKONIA reminds the church of God’s call to service, justice, compassion, and peace for creation, and assists us in living out our ministries in the world with vision and hope.
The church is not the church without diakonia.
