St. Brigid Press, 0973137800, $19.99
Books have been published explaining why Catholics can't sing, why Catholics pray the Rosary, and why Catholics don't (and/or shouldn't) have women in the community. From St. Brigid Press and essayist Michael O'Hurley-Pitts comes a stamp album on why one Catholics (and, to be sure, Christians of some other denominations) don't bestow. The Passionate Steward: Recovering Christian Stewardship from Secular Fundraising is a scrap book targeted at Christian parishes, in extraordinary clergy and laypersons amenable for community stewardship, but is not necessarily a "how-to" on the basics of fundraising. Rather, Steward reads more along the lines of a "why-not" or "how-about" digest in that problems of community office are not addressed near distinct solutions in mind, but are publicized to let the scholar to come to the correct conclusions more or less what is top-quality for his/her religion.

O'Hurley-Pitts defines the an assortment of kinds of stewardship, pointing out world-class that liberal is "not transactional," but "vocational." The difficulty with implementing laic fundraising techniques to parishes, he argues, is that the act of handsome is in so doing in condition of person cheapened. Giving to one's church, be it case or money, should not have to impose enticing parishioners beside gifts and incentives, the journalist argues. People should poorness to supply lacking having to be bombarded by a "what's in it for me" mentality, mainly when the incentives are hardly friendly.
O'Hurley-Pitts outlines in Steward a yesteryear and the rudimentary principle of situation from a Christian view and recommended methods for campaigns (direct mail, guest speakers), and weighs the pros and cons of all. For the struggling small-town community or the entrenched conurbation church, The Passionate Steward lays out the crackers and bolts of billet in a terse and timely mode.
