Stewards of Our Community: The Value of Responsible Citizenship
The concept of stewardship also includes a sense of responsiveness to challenges, a sense of responsibility to oneself, and perhaps most importantly, a sense of honor. In order to be a respected thinker and citizen, one must operate from a set of core principles—moral principles—that one observes and adheres to even when no one is looking. Living in a caring, honorable, responsible, and fully-engaged way results in living life in a meaningful way, itself an important skill.
