In this issue, we seek to gain some perspective on the varying definitions of stewardship. To accomplish this task, we have enlisted the help of four capable people. We offer a personal story of serving in West Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer, a look at the connections between stewardship and the cultural issues of poverty and wealth, a perspective from a non-profit that preserves environmentally-significant land, and a primer on “takings”, a law that makes environmental protection difficult.
