520 |a One of the characteristics of the practice of diaconia is working at the margins of society. However, do we fully understand the complexity of the margins in diaconal practices? This paper expands the notion of the margins and look at some of the ecclesiological and professional implications for deacons’ work. I argue that there exists a double marginalization, at least for deacons working in the Church of Norway. An analysis of the document “Deacon Ministry in the Church of Norway” indicates that suffering is not placed in the center of the ministry of the church, and neither are the deacons placed in the center. However, if we do a thought experiment and place the margins in the center, what happens then? In this paper, I sketch some ecclesiological and professional implications of this “upside down” experiment. Furthermore, I argue for an expansion of the Church of Norway’s definition of diaconia.
