Stewardship and Development

"Once one chooses to become a disciple of Jesus Christ, stewardship is not an option." So asserts the book, Stewardship: A Disciple's Response, A Pastoral Letter on Stewardship, available from USCCB Publishing, the publishing arm of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Who is a Christian Steward?

One who receives God's gifts gratefully, cherishes and tends them in a responsible and accountable manner, shares them in justice and love with others, and returns them with increase to the Lord.
