One of the ministerial emphases of the Community of Christ Order of Bishops is to provide spiritual formation experiences that support our development as “Ministers of Generosity.”
We invite you to join us in the spiritual practice of “Dwelling in The Word”. Dwelling in The Word is a scripture study practice of intentionally spending time on one particular passage of scripture.
Each Monday we will post a new generosity-based scripture. To read and comment on the current scripture, please click on “This Week’s Verse” above. This blog is designed for us to interact with each other. It will not be a place for the Presiding Bishopric to respond to questions, but a place to gain insight and understanding from each other’s thoughts about the scripture each week.
The Presiding Bishopric looks forward to walking with you on this path.

I find the passage for Monday, 14 Sept, quite intriguing. Do we really believe in such equality through sharing? I need to think through the implications of this one more.

I agree, William. It’s a different definition of “equality” than I’ve learned in my own life and culture. A definition that does not have “evenness”, “sameness”, or “value” attached to the item given/shared. Perhaps the value is attached on the depth of need instead. If the need is the same, then the generosity to meet the needs would be “equal”? Apples and oranges aren’t as different from each other when viewed in this light.
