We give because God is a generous giver. He has given us all things: our life, our talents, our interests, our gifts, our possessions and our resources. These are all gifts from a generous God. We believe that we are not first and foremost owners of these gifts but stewards who are called to use everything we have for the good of one another and the good of the world. So we follow the many encouragements and warnings that Jesus makes about money and possessions and we seek to live generously for the sake of the world.
