adequately prepared, godly men and women who will assume the responsibility, under God and by his power, of owning and directing the world’s wealth and goods. Such people must rise up and, in union with Christ and his people everywhere, guide social, economic, and political processes so that the conditions that cause the need for charity are lessened to a point where that need can be met. Such men and women are the only ones who can effectively lead humankind to fulfill its ancient charge of supervision over the earth.
