From the Catechism or “Outline of Faith,” Book of Common Prayer, pages 845 – 862. The

The church is in the CONVERSION BUSINESS. The church’s mission is to help each
one of us as we strive to allow God to draw us into a closer relationship with Our Creator.
It is through stewardship education and development that the church can actually be in
the conversion business. Stewardship is a means by which parishioners can strengthen
and deepen their faith!

Stewardship development consists of both education and commitment. Education is
essential. But a commitment program is also essential since it is through the commitment
we make that we live out our beliefs about stewardship.
