A '''doorkeeper''', or '''porter''', is an extinct office within the [[minor orders]] of [[clergy ]] in the [[Church]]. The doorkeeper's duty in the Early Church consisted of the opening and closing of church doors, guarding the church building proper, and ensuring that no unbaptized persons entered during the [[Divine Liturgy|Liturgy of the Faithful]].
