In this episode, we meet Phoebe, a remarkable woman entrusted with delivering Paul’s letter to Rome. Described as a servant (diakonos) of the church in Cenchrea, Phoebe may have held a formal role similar to that of a deaconess. Paul urges the Roman believers to welcome and support her, recognizing her as a prostatis—a benefactor and protector—who had been a great help to many, including Paul himself. This episode sheds light on the essential role of women in the early church’s mission.
