The Episcopal Network for StewardshipThe Episcopal Network for Stewardship (TENS) is a voluntary network of people who believe our responsibility as Stewards includes maintaining balance in our lives of the God given gift of a set of relationships: to God, to other humans, to self and to the entire created universe. Their website (http://www.tens.org) is a virtual plethora of resources including a "Diocesan Panic Kit" and links to stewardship web sites for other denominations. More information can be found on their website or by calling (800) 699-2669 (in USA) or (316) 686-0470 Their e-mail address is TENS@TENS.org. If you would like to focus on stewardship, financially speaking, I still really like the "Living With Money" series, available from the Episcopal Media Center ($99) Living with Money challenges participants to think deeply about the subject of money, and consider its meaning in the context of their Christian faith. How do we discern the power and impact of money on our lives? How do we keep money from shaping our every decision? How much money is enough for us? What are our personal values about money? What does the Bible say about it? Living with Money explores these and other questions, and helps participants achieve a balanced and wholesome money life. http://www.episcopalmarketplace.org/marketplace/detail/4201 Living With MoneyAn ecumenical adult education program for congregations, Living With Money challenges participants to think deeply about the subject of money, and consider its meaning in the context of their Christian faith.
