Just a little note that I have contributed an article entitled “The Three Tables: A Proposal for the Organization of Deacon Bodies” to the Fall 2020 issue (the 50th anniversary issue as it turns out) of Deacon Magazine. In it, I write about how the Central Baptist deacon body adopted and adapted the earlier Baptist model of “the three tables” and argue that this is a viable model for churches today. I believe the issue will be made available free in its entirety at the Deacon Magazine site in the near future (or it seems like they normally do that anyway).
