Hi Wendy – thank you! The color or label doesn’t matter as much as the actions behind it. I appreciate the comment. Best, Steph

I completely agree with Inthedoghouse! My parents were teaching us to be good stewards before it was called being “green”! As long as people are being good stewards, green, eco-friendly, sustainable, etc., it’s all good!

Great post!

Hi Inthedoghouse,

What a beautiful comment! I totally agree with your thoughts and observations (and cannot wait to share with our priest). In our church, there is a strong “green” movement, which is likely founded on the stewardship principles you describe so well.

Best, Stephanie

What a great post! Being a Christian, I believe that God created the Earth, and therefore it is His. Man was placed on His earth and are therefore required to take care of it while they are living here. This to me is the definition of a “wise steward”. I believe we will be asked to give a “stewardship report” on how we managed His earth, when we return to Him someday. Therefore, in simplicity I believe that being “green” means becoming a “wise steward”.
