March’s query was offered by Gail Becke:

“I have been thinking about personal authenticity, and have come to understand it as the stewardship of one’s self and one’s unique gifts. In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus teaches us that using and developing one’s talents is good. The Illinois Yearly Meeting’s Faith and Practice puts self into a broader stewardship context in the query: How do I weave self, nature and the divine into spiritual unity?”
