No, I am not sure it is happening all over the place. Their may be some that are sympathetic to deaconesses and some congregations have deaconesses (not ordained), but this is not widespread. There is certainly the potential for a problem down the road, but as fallen creatures we are always prone to error. The current issue before the General Assembly is to clarify the position. There are always a few that like to push the envelope but this will always be the case.
