👉 Subdeaconship is a role in Christianity that refers to the position of an elder or bishop, which is also known as a bishop. It is a spiritual leadership position and is typically held by bishops who are ordained priests and bishops. Subdeacons do not have the authority to make decisions for their diocese or oversee its affairs, but they perform many functions related to the ministry of the bishop, including serving in meetings, leading prayer services, and assisting with administrative tasks.
