In the BCO for the OPC, there are two different words used for the beliefs or faith of elders and deacons. In Chapter 10.2, it says elders should be "sound" in the faith. In Chapter 11.2, it says the deacon should be of "great" faith. What is the difference, if any? Is great in opposition to weak? Or is it a sign of someone who has been in the faith for quite some time?
