My new book is available this week!
We all can think of organisations that were established by Christians that are no longer recognisably Christian. In Keeping Faith, the authors outline the key components of organisational faithfulness, that is, what is needed for Christian organisations to continue to stay true to the way of Jesus. They argue that the old reliance on statements of faith, or a set of Christian values, is insufficient. What is needed is a robust organisational theology which inhabits the enterprise’s structures, management, business policies, practices and relationships and will be tailored according to the purpose of the organisation.
In this important book you will find:
A checklist to determine if your organisation is losing its faithfulness.
An outline of some key components of organisational theology.
Examples, both positive and negative, of theological application in organisations.
Discussion questions for organisational reflection.
This book is a useful resource for Christian charities, schools, small businesses, start-ups, higher education providers and even churches. It will help you ensure that the mission of the organisation is not just expressed in forward-facing activity, but in the essential ways that the organisation is run: people and culture, marketing, fundraising and so on.
The authors have combined global experience in practical theology, running businesses and charities and integrating faith and work.
