are:
Given by God for the common good: God gives us
spiritual gifts to use for the common good.
Inclusive: Everyone is gifted.
Flexible: Gifts, and our passion to grow and use them,
can change over time.
Tied to authenticity and passion: God did not put us
here to do work which is miserable for us, but rather
to use our gifts in ways we love, for the service of God
and the world.
The concept of spiritual gifts is rooted in the New
Testament. Perhaps the most well-known references
are the lists of gifts in Ephesians 4: "Some would be
apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some
pastors and teachers..." as well as I Corinthians 12:7,
which states, "To each has been given the
manifestation of the Spirit for the common good."
"We cannot be ourselves unless we are true to our gifts." - Elizabeth
