transformation will look
For most Episcopalians, stewardship is synonymous with pledge
drives, budgets, and capital campaigns, but the Bible is clear that
God wants more than our tithes and offerings. Looking to its
scriptural roots in 1 Chronicles, Luke-Acts, and the letters of
Paul, as well as St. Francis third way, Robertson offers a vision
of holistic stewardship for the whole church, holistic because it
can t be separated from evangelism, outreach, scripture study, and
ministry to the newcomer. It does not involve strong-arm tactics,
only a willingness to risk changing existing structures and ideas
in order to enrich the faith community and strengthen connections
to the neighboring world.
"Transforming Stewardship" delivers both good and bad news about
Episcopalians and stewardship. "Robertson" provides essential
models and spiritual practices in order to transform the church s
outmoded attitudes toward stewardship and wealth into a broader
context of faith."
