Talent & Virtues
Whatever I am,
I am because of my own doing.
-Abraham Lincoln
Developing virtues and talents is essential to living a purposeful and fulfilling life. Virtues such as wisdom, empathy, and integrity shape our character and guide our actions, while talents represent the unique abilities each of us brings to the world. In the Church of Faith and Reason, we believe that cultivating these virtues and talents is part of our eternal journey, refining our souls and contributing to the greater good. By honing our strengths and embracing the virtues that lead to harmony and growth, we align ourselves with the deeper rhythms of the universe. Each virtue and talent we develop enhances our capacity to make meaningful contributions, not only in this lifetime but across all stages of existence. Through this continuous development, we evolve, strengthen our connection to others, and play our role in the unfolding story of creation.
