In the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, and Reformed churches, where the deacon is ordained and therefore is not a layman, the function of deacons has become mainly liturgical, i.e. helping to conduct public worship services and the administration of the sacraments. Deacons in these churches do, however, continue to help and counsel the parish's poor and sick, as in antiquity.
