Paul speaks of the dependence...
Paul speaks of the dependence of the multiplicity of spiritual gifts and their dependence on the one source of God's Spirit. Several years ago I was in a group that made a visit to Egypt. While there we visited Wadi Natrun and met Pope Shenouda III, the patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church. The drive provided my first encounter with the desert of North Africa. The sand seemed endless. The adage about camels being "ships of the desert" became real. One's first glimpse of an oasis comes as a bit of a shock. The rolling sand dunes condition you to expect more and more of the same.
