Stewardship (theology)

Divine belief in one's responsibility for the world

Stewardship is a theological belief in religion that humans are responsible for the world, humanity, and the gifts and resources that they claim they have been entrusted by a deity or higher power. In Abrahamic religions, stewardship is commonly used in reference to maintaining and growing the resources of a religious institution. This could include the practices of financial management of religious institutions, such as fundraising and management of financial assets.
