Whereas, The current stewardship program of the church, “A Disciple’s Generous Response,” provides good guidance for using God’s generous gifts wisely, but lacks guidance on how to create, magnify, and accumulate material abundance; and

Resolved, That an appropriate resource development team be identified to explore the feasibility of developing culturally sensitive and language specific teaching materials and practical guidelines to encourage and enable members to develop healthy and righteous attitudes and practices toward creating, magnifying, and accumulating material abundance; and be it further

Resolved, That this Conference requests the Presiding Bishopric to explore sources of funding both inside and outside the budget to fund such a project; and be it further

Resolved, That the resource team and the Presiding Bishopric report their findings at the next World Conference.
