Spiritual Gifts Assessment
February 26, 2008I have a problem.
I got an e-mail from a staff member at our church asking if T and I would take their spiritual gifts assessment. So there they were on Sunday, two copies in our church mailbox with a note to have hour long individual meetings once we had them filled out.
So what’s the problem?
I’m realizing by reading through this assessment that I have some rather significant theological issues with my church.
Now, this doesn’t mean I don’t love my church. I do. I receive so much from going to the services and our small group has been amazing. I think it is doing a lot of good as an individual church to benefit our community and other areas of the country and world. I also think a lot of that has to do with our pastor and his leadership skills.
But seriously, I’m stuck. I answered all the questions I felt comfortable answering and, um, that was only 38 out of 137. Most of the rest I honestly do not agree with the premise/theology behind the question.
Our church is doing the same thing! (And I am pretty sure we live in opposite parts of the country, LOL!) I would love to see your survey! I’ll see if I can find a link to mine.
So you thought you’d complain about it here, rather than contacting the church person who is doing the assessments to ask them for assistance in figuring it out?
After all, I’m sure they read your blog and will be calling you right away…?
Eek! That’s not good. Did DH struggle to? Have/will you speak to your church about it? That had to be a frustrating realization.
