Description
Female Diaconates in Germany The resurgence of female diaconates in nineteenth-century Germany was close related to the Inner Mission (innere Mission) movement, championed by Johann Heinrich Wichern to relieve mounting physical, moral, and spiritual wretchedness in the wake of the industrial revolution. In September 1848, Wichern challenged all Protestants in Germany to adopt the work of the Inner Mission. As a result, the German Evangelical Church organized the Central Committee for the Inner Mission at Berlin in January 1849 and similar associations formed in every part of Germany, Scandinavia, and later in North America.
