– is a theological belief that humans
are responsible for the world and should take care and look after it. STEWARDSHIP is a way of life to everyone, who are called to share their time, talent, treasure and assets with the community and others from a sense of gratitude and generosity. Community stewardship is a guiding principle that calls us to collectively care for the resources, relationships, and responsibilities we share within our communities 1. Shared Responsibility In a community, each member has unique talents, skills, and resources. Stewardship asks us to contribute these assets selflessly for the betterment of the whole. It transforms the question from "What can I gain?" to "What can I give?" 2. Sustainability True stewardship aims not only for short-term achievements but also for sustainable development. It involves making decisions that balance the needs of the present with the welfare of the future. 3. Respect and Care for Community Assets Each community has its assets, from parks and schools to libraries and local businesses. Community stewardship means taking care of these spaces and institutions, ensuring they thrive and remain available for everyone to benefit from. 4. Civic Participation Engagement in community life is a fundamental aspect of stewardship. It can be as simple as voting, attending town meetings, or participating in local events. By being actively involved, community members ensure their voices are heard and contribute to collective decision-making. 5. Education and Empowerment Sharing knowledge and skills is a powerful act of stewardship. By educating each other and empowering individuals to take action, communities can address challenges more effectively and innovate for the common good. 6. Building Relationships A stewardship-minded community value relationship. This involves fostering connections among community members, encouraging collaboration, and building trust. Strong, healthy relationships are the glue that holds community initiatives together. 7. Accountability and Transparency To maintain trust and promote responsible stewardship, it is vital for community leaders and members to be transparent about their actions and accountable for the outcomes. 8. Cultural and Historical Preservation Respecting and preserving the cultural, historical, and spiritual heritage of a community is essential. This aspect of stewardship acknowledges the foundation on which communities are built and maintains a sense of identity and continuity. As we consider the concept of community stewardship, let's reflect on how we, as individuals and as a collective, can be good stewards. It's often the small, everyday actions that have the most significant impact—picking up litter, supporting a local business, mentoring a young person, or even planting a tree. When we each play our part, we weave a tapestry of care that extends beyond ourselves, enveloping our community in a rich cloak of sustainability, support, and respect that will stand the test of time.
