Webinar: Why Stewardship? An Anglican Perspective
About TENS
Every congregation, parish, or diocesan ministry within the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa has access to the annual stewardship materials provided by The Episcopal Network for Stewardship (TENS). Although designed primarily for churches, these resources are used by schools, camps, and a variety of other ministries to support their donor engagement efforts.
This year’s materials are available on the TENS website at https://www.tens.org/. Previous years’ materials can also be found there. All materials are unlocked with the password.
The password for this year is Luke1:46. Please note that there are no spaces, and the password is case sensitive. You are invited to share this password widely through newsletters, websites, and social media to help your community access these tools. The password will remain active until February 2026, when the renewal period concludes.
In addition to the annual campaign resources, TENS offers a wide range of free materials that do not require a password. Their resource library includes articles, toolkits, and practical guidance covering tools and best practices, stewardship formation, and liturgical materials.
Their webinar library is also available online, offering both past recordings and upcoming sessions that can be accessed or registered for at any time.
TENS also publishes a monthly newsletter designed to support stewardship leaders at both parish and diocesan levels. It offers reflections, ideas, and practical insights to deepen stewardship formation. All are welcome to subscribe and to encourage others to do the same.
Stewardship Support
Support is available for clergy, stewardship committee members, wardens, treasurers, and anyone seeking experienced guidance in stewardship and parish development. Whether you are launching a new giving initiative, strengthening an existing campaign, or looking for fresh ideas to nurture a culture of generosity, you do not need to navigate the work on your own.
For information about stewardship campaigns, donor relations, sample letters, planning documents, and other practical tools, please contact Carole Breton, Director of Communications and Development and member of the ADO Stewardship Resource Hub. Carole can assist you in discerning your local needs, shaping clear messages, and developing thoughtful plans that encourage faithful and joyful giving across your parish or ministry.
