CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP - WHAT IS IT?

A Working Definition Of Christian Stewardship

Stewardship is lived out in: " living and telling the Good News; " sharing God in seeking justice, peace, and the integrity of creation in an interdependent universe; " wisely employing God-given human resources, abilities, and relationships; " sharing the material resources we hold and giving them in service, justice, and compassion; " providing for future generations, sharing in the life, worship, and responsible stewardship of the church and of its mission Both for the individual and for the community, stewardship is a joyful act for the sake of God's world. (From the Ecumenical Stewardship Centre) Stewardship has also been defined as: " What I do, with all that I have, after I say "I believe." " Using the gifts God has given us to do the work God is calling us " to do
