Turf Wars, Talents and Spiritual Gifts

In the last 30 years, I have been a member of about a dozen different wards. With each move, I must establish new friendships and create a niche among my fellow saints. Church is a place for shared faith, but it is also a place where many perform a skill that may or may not be related to one’s professional training. If it’s a skill that a sister does not use at work, this often makes church a particularly important venue for expressing that skill.
