Not necessarily. You probably should stick with the "Context Way." 

However, can you tell me how to use the gather environment using amsl so
that all equations in the gather environment are numbered and labeled,
where each can be referenced separately in the ensuing text? Is this possible?

Definitely. That's the whole point of the gather environment. Otherwise,
why not just use align? The whole point is to "gather" a group of equations
as a unit and center each on its own line.
