Definition
Plural of archdeacon; high-ranking church officials who serve as chief deacons and oversee a section of a diocese.
Etymology
From archdeacon (arch- 'chief' + deacon from Greek diakonos 'servant' or 'minister'). The position developed in early Christian churches as the hierarchy became more complex.
Kelly Says
Archdeacons were the church's middle managers—they did the grunt work of actually running parishes and disciplining priests while bishops got to attend fancy church councils and political meetings!
