Many Different Gifts

“The laity’s call to ministry and service, in other words, is not to be seen as a luxury or concession but as the natural consequence of their right and responsibility to participate in Christ’s saving mission and to use their gifts and talents to advance God’s kingdom in our day.”

- Howard J. Hubbard, Bishop of Albany
“Fostering the Ministry and Service of the Laity”
in Priests For A New Millennium, p. 131
