Summary, Etc. "While leadership books abound, practical advice on administering and nurturing a congregation or other church-related institution - its programs, finances, staff, and assets - is rare. This comprehensive guide, from two experienced and thoughtful churchmen, treats each aspect of congregational governance not as a bad imitation of business techniques but as a sacred calling with an overriding religious mission."--BOOK JACKET.
