Holding leaders accountable

NOT SO WITH YOU:
Power and Leadership for the Church
Editors Mark Sterling and Mark Meynell

How do I know I am safe in church? Or that anyone I bring is safe in church?

The spate of recent scandals of abuse within churches has made many of us think about how we can best pay attention to power. Edited by Mark Stirling, a former medical doctor and pastor, and Mark Meynell, the Director of Langham Preaching, this book wants to remind us that the misuse of power is not a new problem; there are profound Biblical, theological, and historical precedents for thinking about how power can be used, and abused.
