Deacon school and elder qualifications

• What qualifies someone to be an elder or deacon in a church?

A host tells the story of meeting a soon-to-be deacon at Christmas who kept pull-tabs out of his stocking because gambling is 'against my religion,' then admitted, 'I'm not 100% Bible.' The hosts argue 1 Timothy 3's elder qualifications — one-woman man, well-behaved kids, financial stewardship — are brutal, and that completing a deacon class doesn't mean your life reflects them. A pronunciation bit on Philemon ('Phil,' 'Philemon') closes the segment.
