“Of course it is pleasing to have smart and talented people in the Church. However, not because it needs them. The Church needs no one. We have need of her because without her we shall not be saved. Of course no matter what abilities we have we must use them for the glory of Christ. However we must not overly stress our contribution. “We are worthless servants” (Luke 17:10).”
(Elder Epiphanios in ‘Counsels for Life’)
