Keeping Faith
How Christian organisations can stay true to the way of Jesus
£11.99
How does a Christian organisation stay true to the way of Jesus? Statements of faith, or a set of Christian values, are not enough. What is needed is a robust organisational theology that infuses every aspect of an organisation and is tailored specifically to that organisation’s purposes.
In Keeping Faith, the authors have combined their global experience in practical theology, running businesses and charities, and integrating faith and work to outline the key components of organisational faithfulness. 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.

I pray that Keeping Faith becomes the go-to guide for maintaining Christian faithfulness in every kind of organisation that claims to honour Jesus Christ.
