• Sommario/riassunto: 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. 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). This is a valuable resource for programs in church ministry, pastoral administration, and in the emerging field of church management.
