Keeping Faith

How Christian Organisations Around the World Can Stay True to the Way of Jesus

About this book

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 Now in this updated edition, leaders from around the world respond to the original text with case studies that address the key issues and cultural complexities of their local contexts, as well as reflecting on questions that organisations must address if they are to sustain faithfulness to their Christian identity. A vital resource for Christian charities, schools, small businesses, startups, higher-education providers and the global church.
