Gifts for the people: Week 5

This next set of readings looks at the way God provdies different gifts to different people so that they can complement and aid each other, living in community as a way of survival and prosperity. This is a challenge to the assumption in the UK that people should be independent, self-supporting and contains questions for an education system that largely focuses on conforming people (not very successfully) to society's boxes rather than identifying individual giftings and helping children develop and shape those gifts to contribute to the wellbeing of others.
