The Alban Institute expands its look at how congregations tackle
the issue of money as it relates to faith and lifestyles. Several
renowned experts offer fresh perspectives on various aspects of
this issue, with innovative ideas and solutions for congregations
and their leaders. Along with previous Money, Faith, and Lifestyle
titles, the new series entries offer something for everyone
concerned about this most pressing issue.
Intentionally provocative, Alban founder and former president
Loren Mead's dynamic work sets out dramatic and compelling
challenges for today's churches. Mead chose the word "melt-down" --
a strong term, indeed -- very carefully and consciously. His
clarion call urges congregations to direct attention to their
dwindling financial resources and their unreliable fiscal
practices, and to take major action now -- or face disaster in the
future. Mead addresses changing church giving patterns; the
inconsistent ways congregations keep financial records; the lack of
coordinated short- and long-range planning; the need for knowledge
of sound financial techniques such as accounting for inflation; an
over-reliance on "restructuring" to fix problems; and lack of
defensive planning for operational costs.
