Comment: I admit to being "simple".  And your point is  well taken.   There are deacon-theologians out there with proper credentials that merit inclusion on the commission.    And I do believe that actually living in the charism of the modern diakonia is indeed very relevant and even necessary before  "adding" women to live it as well.      The "historical" diaconate was not restored at the SVC.... the current diaconate was.    In fact, many argue history does not support women in this role.... so looking at it from more than one theological lens is appropriate.  One persons view of what is the proper credentials for commission membership is easily debated.  Having no diaconal representation when plenty of qualified theologians are available is a mistake.   Just ask the 45,000 deacons who are affected by it
