Stewardship can also mean the looking after of animals as the christian belief is that we are all "stewards of god's earth", and it is in our duty to respect his creatures. A useful quote explaining stewardship can be found in Psalm 24:1: "The Earth is the Lord's and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it".
Stewardship may also refer to:
