c. You have been given the principles of generosity, rightly interpreted for a new time. These princi-ples call every disciple to tithe faithfully in accordance with means and capacity. Those values, deeply rooted in the Restoration faith, affirm that stewardship and discipleship cannot be divided and are dependent upon each other. d. The call to respond is urgent. Look to the needs of your own congregations, but look also beyond your walls to the far-flung places where the church must go. Each disciple needs a spiritual home. You are called to build that home and care for it, but also to share equally in the outreaching minis-tries of the church. In that way the gospel may be sent to other souls also yearning for a spiritual resting place.
