The Church is not a business, but it does have a stewardship
responsibility to ensure that all of its resources are used as
effectively as possible to carry out God's work on earth. In the
case of human resource assets, good stewardship involves assisting
those engaged in ministry (whether clerical or lay) to achieve
their greatest potential through the various components of
performance management, including performance assessment. This
unique collection brings together both scholars and practitioners
who tackle the tricky questions related to the performance
management of lay Church workers and clergy (priests and deacons).
Performance management is multi-faceted, ranging from issues about
hiring, job descriptions, performance criteria, performance
appraisal, formation, and firing procedures. As a charitable
organization, the Church is subject to the same civil law
employment regulations as companies in the private sector.
Contributors demonstrate that Canon Law and Church tradition
supports the performance management of Church ministers (including
clergy). This is a valuable resource for programs in church
ministry, pastoral administration, and in the emerging field of
church management.
Money Matters presents the findings of the largest and most
incisive study of factors influencing church giving in America. The
authors conducted an exhaustive study of church giving in five
representative denominations: Assemblies of God, Southern Baptist,
Roman Catholic, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and
Presbyterian. With detailed information from 625 churches, this
book offers surprising conclusions about member contributions - and
about the current condition of American churches.
