	Archdeacon - LoveToKnow 1911
		Originally the archdeacon was, as the name implies, the chief of the deacons attached to the bishop's cathedral, his duty being, besides preaching, to supervise the deacons and their work, i.e.
		In the East, in the 5th century, the archdeacons were already charged with the proof of the qualifications of candidates for ordination; they attended the bishops at ecclesiastical synods, and sometimes acted as their representatives; they shared in the administration of sees during a vacancy.
		The archdeacon had thus become, on the one hand, the oculus episcopi, but on the other hand, armed as he was with powers of imposing penance and, in case of stubborn disobedience, of excommunicating offenders, his power tended more and more to grow at the bishop's expense.

		This was especially the case in the administration of ecclesiastical property, the care of the sick, the visitation of prisoners, and the training of the clergy.

	Diocese of Derby - Archdeacons
		Whereas a Bishop is in the tradition of Apostles - pastor, teacher and evangelist (see The role of a Bishop) an Archdeacon is in the tradition of Acts 6 in the New Testament of the Bible, where seven 'deacons' were appointed "full of the Spirit and of wisdom."
		Archdeacons are well placed to work collaboratively with parish leadership teams; with the parish priest, churchwardens and the Parochial Church Council (the local elected body).
		At the induction service of a new parish priest the Archdeacon is charged by the Bishop to give him or her responsibility for the property of the parish and "to defend him/her so inducted" or to be his or her advocate.

		Archdeacon Linney does raise some important questions about why this issue exercises many within the Church when poverty, war, disease, famine, greed, and oppression ravage humanity.
		Archdeacon Linney does offer a scrap to those who might be otherminded on these issues of human sexuality, though - again in keeping with the usual line of argument from revisionists - he reduces our objections to mere emotion.
		In the end, there is nothing new here, save that Archdeacon Linney has the honesty to confront the fact that his notions of what is righteous and holy differ significantly from catholic understanding of the teachings of Holy Scripture.

	Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia
		But with the reestablishment of the Patriarchy in Russia, the title of archdeacon was applied to the eldest protodeacon serving alongside the Patriarch regardless of his familial circumstances.
		The elevation or non-elevation to the rank of archdeacon depended not so much on the vocal or liturgical expertise of the protodeacon, but also to a great degree on his good name among the people.
		So Archdeacon Sergii Pavlovich Turikov did not serve directly under Patriarch Alexy I, but was elevated to this rank for his irreproachable service, that is, for his personal virtues.

	Archdeacon Toft (Thurman Warriner)
		Archdeacon Toft of Toncester (actually the Venerable Grantius Fauxlihough Toft), who dresses in the appropriate English ecclesiastical garb of gaiters, is "a giant of a man with a vast face and a noble tier of chins, with legs round and solid as the pillars of Gaza".
		Unfortunately Archdeacon Toft (aged 69 and a half), who is a much more entertaining character than Mr Ambo, doesn't appear until late in the story - and nor does Scotter, the colourful private investigator whom Ambo decides to employ, together with his helpmate Lottie:"She's not as dumb as she looks," explained Scotter.
		Archdeacon Toft, unfortunately, plays a very minor role, and we see more of his brother, Canon Gilbert Archimides Toft (who turns out also to live at Urmsbury where the Shearstone family live, and is as thin as the archdeacon is fat).

		The Venerable Archdeacon Pratt, Archdeacon of Calcutta: A Sketch
		In the end of 1849 the appointment of Dr. Dealtry, Archdeacon of Calcutta, to the see of Madras, on the resignation of Bishop Spencer, gave Bishop Wilson the opportunity of marking his high esteem for his domestic chaplain, and his sense of his unwearied and valuable services, by nominating him to the vacated archdeaconry.
		Towards the close of 1868 the Archdeacon wrote to Government, saying that, provided the official interpretation of the Secretary of State's letter limited his service to March, 1869, his wish would be to leave India a little earlier in the year, and he begged to tender his resignation as from the following January.

		The addition of "Emeritus" to the Archdeacon's title, explained Dean Knolly Clarke "is bestowed on one who has been in an office according to the church's understanding for a period of time, and on retirement, the church then allows him to maintain the title although he doesn't function as an Archdeacon."
