b"CLOSINGTHOUGHTBeing a steward requires one to act in ways commensurate with ones particular situation. This could mean choosing a career where one works with vulnerable populations, advocates for others, or serves the community in other ways. It might mean volunteering with a local organization or group, donating money or services, engaging in civil disobedience, or organizing people to tackle an issue together.
