A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A deacon is a member of the clerical order who assists the priest in various duties, including the presentation of the sacrament. In certain churches, it is the third order of the Church of England below bishops and priests. A deacon is not allowed to consecrate the Holy Communion or pronounce absolution but can perform most of the other priestly duties. Additionally, a deacon can be an elected or appointed officer of a church who assists a minister or priest in various duties.

In the Catholic Church, a deacon may assist the priest during Mass by reading the Gospel, preaching, and distributing Holy Communion.
In the Anglican Church, a deacon may assist the priest during services and perform baptisms, weddings, and funerals.
A deacon in a Baptist church may assist the pastor in various duties, such as visiting the sick and elderly, leading prayer meetings, and teaching Bible studies.

These examples illustrate how a deacon can assist a priest or minister in various duties within different denominations of Christianity.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?
