Stewards

Stewards are the Community Organizers of The Troth, connecting faith communities and building bridges.

The Steward Program of The Troth is vital to our mission to serve Inclusive Heathenry.

Stewards are often the first contact someone will have with another Heathen. That’s where the work of a Steward can make a big difference by doing all they can to connect the one bravely reaching out for help to other Heathens. There may not be anyone close enough. That doesn’t mean they’re alone.

Sometimes we have to be the first one on the dance floor before others move their feet.

Stewards can guide someone to be that first dancer. We can answer questions about being Inclusive, finding others when someone feels alone, building community, sharing the resources of The Troth, and transforming a handshake into a real connection.

Stewards are volunteers who work to build community for Heathens everywhere in conjunction with the Troth.

They start by providing a presence and giving information to individuals who are interested in The Troth or in heathenry generally. They may also help heathens find each other, start kindreds if they wish, and create opportunities for local kindreds to get together with each other or organize regional meetings. The work of the Steward in this web is bringing together threads of individuals and kindreds. They are familiar with the Troth members and kindreds in his or her area, and know the other heathen organizations that are willing to work with the Troth. They usually have strong ties to the broader heathen community local to the Steward’s territory.

Stewards can be Regional, and work within a state, part of a state, or in several states. A steward can also work in a special interest area, such as with the military or with incarcerated heathens.

As we look toward the future, our focus as Steward is on holding our doors even wider open to all who would like to explore their vision of Heathenry.

Consistent communication, open sharing of information and opportunities, curiosity about people, and improving how we connect Inclusive Heathens to those who share their values are going to be some of our key mindsets as we grow.
