		A deacon is a male member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that holds the Aaronic or lesser priesthood.
		The office of a deacon is the first office of the Aaronic Priesthood followed by teacher, priest and bishop.
		Deacon is derived from the Greek word diakonos (διάκονος), which is often translated "servant" or more specifically "waiter." When passing the sacrament deacons are asked to dress appropriately and wear a white shirt and a tie that does not divert people’s attention away from the purpose of the sacrament.
