It analyzes the present plight of the church and sketches a positive way forward, sprouting from the seeds of change-those transformative practices already at work renewing the church. What church models can help point us toward transformation? What are the essential tools? What will give us strength, direction, and purpose to the journey?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach volume of the series will: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplain why a changed vision is essential \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive robust theological and biblical foundations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffer a guide to best practices and positive trends in churches large and small \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe the necessary tools for change \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImagine how transformation will look \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransforming Stewardship\u003c\/i\u003e delivers both good and bad news about Episcopalians and stewardship. \u003ci\u003eRobertson\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8.35 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344774193459,"sku":"9780898696073","price":48.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/kDCJEROhrz9780898696073.webp?v=1778732063","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/transforming-stewardship-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
