A quick perusal of these resources makes one wonder whether the hymnody reflects a poverty of stewardly piety among Lutheran Christians, that is, have we both (a) reduced a sense of stewardship to giving of thanks or to making monetary pledges--all the while fearful to bless the word "money"--and (b) fallen behind in anchoring the attitude and practice of stewardship in the fundamental stirrings of faith?
If what the Reformation of the 16th century and subsequent expressions of classical Protestantism is to survive and grow, it will depend chiefly, if not wholly, on clergy who are ready to leave a great deal of the organizational and other stewardly work to competent laity and take up for themselves new and imaginative expressions of the 'teaching eldership.
