Yes whenever I see this word I think of Charles Darwin's invention of the branch of science called Ecology. In his introduction he said the term was based on this Greek word and the proceeded to discuss various "Eco's"
Just as Darwin saw creatures filling various "niches" I see saints having different functions, kind of like different members of a Body having different gifts.
