The Cycle of Blessings, by author Eric Law, teaches how the six currencies of: time and place, gracious leadership, relationship, truth, wellness and money flow and recirculate to form a cycle of blessings to empower congregations as well as strengthen their internal relationships and to reach out and connect with the diverse populations in their neighborhood.

SIX HOLY CURRENCIES DEFINED

CURRENCY OF RELATIONSHIP

The internal and external networks of mutually respectful connections that leaders and members of a church and ministry have. Internal connections include constructive relationships among members and leaders, area churches or ministries of the same affiliation, area denominational organizations, and national and international denominational structures.

External connections include constructive relationships with non-members, different racial, cultural and ethnic groups in the neighborhood, people with resources and people in need in the community, civic community leaders, ecumenical and interfaith partners, community and civic organizations, and local businesses.

CURRENCY OF TRUTH

The ability to articulate individually and corporately the global and wholistic truth, both internally-the experiences of different individuals and groups within the church or ministry. Externally-the experiences of different individuals and groups in the community, neighborhood, the city or town, the nation, and the earth.

CURRENCY OF WELLNESS

The state of being healthy physically, socially, economically, ecologically, and spiritually within a church or ministry, the neighborhood, the town and city, nation, or the earth, especially as the result of deliberate effort. Sustainable wellness requires regenerative and circulatory flow of material, human, financial, and natural resources.

CURRENCY OF MONEY

Something generally accepted as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, or as a means of payment.

CURRENCY OF TIME AND PLACE

Paid and volunteer time that leaders and members offer to the church or ministry. Properties from which a church and ministry operates, and other properties owned or which can be accessed by the church and ministry.

CURRENCY OF GRACIOUS LEADERSHIP

The ability to use skills, tools, models, and processes to create gracious environments (Grace Margin) within which mutually respectful "relationships" and the discernment of the "truth" across differences can be built internally, among existing members, and externally, with non-members. Differences can be racial, ethnic, age, gender, sexual orientation, class, political affiliation, or simply those existing between church members and other folks in the neighborhood.
