Reblogged from Clergy Family Confidential:
A couple of weeks ago, I suggested some songs that would make a good stewardship playlist in a post titled "Music to Give By." I then solicited suggestions and have now developed the Definitive Stewardship Soundtrack. I wanted to get away from songs overtly about money and use songs that got to the heart of stewardship -- cultivating a culture of generosity.
As always, Fr. Schenk is amusing and insightful.
I don’t recommend the reason the stewardship campaign I led over 20 years ago at St. Luke’s, Portland, Maine, raised record contributions.
The parish house burned at a critical point in the campaign. Promise: none of us were responsible–’twas an electrical fault in a far-outdated wiring system.
