Stewardship is an ethic that embodies responsible planning and management of resources.

The concept
of stewardship has been applied in diverse realms, including with respect to environment, economics,
health, property, information, and religion, and is linked to the concept of sustainability. Historically,
stewardship was the responsibility given to household servants to bring food and drinks to a castle dining
hall. The term was then expanded to indicate a household employee's responsibility for managing
household or domestic affairs. Stewardship later became the responsibility for taking care of passengers'
domestic needs on a ship, train and airplane, or managing the service provided to diners in a restaurant.
The term continues to be used in these specific ways, but it is also used in a more general way to refer to
a responsibility to take care of something belonging to someone else. To be a steward, and or act in
steward to something, is known as stewardship

I Corinthians 16:1-4
