Cecelia Hart Price
1. Interview with Henry Rosso on stewardship and fundraising In this interview, Henry Rosso argues that there is no conflict between stewardship and professional, ethical fundraising when congregations encourage donors to give from their hearts and when they use fundraising techniques that are consistent with their mission.

Daniel Conway
2. Giving from the heart: Stewardship as a way of life The archbishop discusses the need to move from a system of giving based on reward and punishment to a true spirituality of giving based on the concept of stewardship.
21(14)
Archbishop Thomas J. Murphy
3. Stewards for whom? Problems with stewardship as a model for fundraising Cultural terms used casually or inappropriately can be misleading. The author examines where it is useful and where it is not useful to talk about fundraising as stewardship.

Thomas H. Jeavons
4. Rediscovering accountability One of the key elements in fundraising is accountability. The authors present results of several studies to show how the erosion of accountability has affected charitable giving and they also offer strategies for the rediscovery of authentic accountability.
