Abstract
Empowerment is an ambiguous concept, especially within the field of diaconia. Therefore one has to use this concept very carefully. One idea is to use basic New Testament traditions to interpret both the concept and the content fresh. The notion of power is a main key in this context. The New Testament is occupied with both giving and receiving. The diaconia has to develop a power concept where the sharing with others that makes the other person more autonomous is in the centre of both practice and theory
