Giving – Mike Angell

Money Stories

Does Jesus ask all of us to give up all of our wealth? All of our possessions?

Generosity is a Practice of Justice

I don’t think we talk enough about justice when it comes to our conversations about giving. We talk about giving thankfully back to God. We talk about abundance. Jesus is less concerned that we be thankful givers. Christian generosity is meant to be about transforming unjust structures.

Money as a Means to an End

How could we use our money more imaginatively, for the sake of those in need? The Rev. Mike Angell reads the parable of the “dishonest manager” or the “unjust steward” as a window into God’s economy.

Generosity Matters

Generosity matters. Of course what you do with your money matters, but more than the dollar amounts, more than the donor levels, our interior orientation matters.
