I attended a talk by Sue Mallory this morning at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Torrance. She has been active in promoting the consideration of people's gifts as they are enrolled in ministry in the local church. Her talk today stressed the need to "listen" to the stories that people have and that a gift assessment is only part involving people in ministry.
Maybe now that Joel is onboard as pastor, we can make some headway at Anaheim CRC about having an intentional system that identifies peoples gifts and identifies ministry opportunities for them to pursue.

good; spiritual gifts assessments are only part of the equation. Also helpful is an undersatnding of Meyers-Briggs in teamwork and then, a dedication to actually living it out. Are you part of the email system that obama's camp used during the campaign? they are very effective at following up with people's commitment and challenging them to carry on the work they promised to do. Seems to need a multi-faceted approach for effectiveness
