Good intentions alone will not stop the physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual damage resulting from just one incident of abuse. This invaluable guide, written by an experienced attorney and active church member, provides must-have information on important questions such as:

• What if a church member or leader is accused of molestation?
• What should be said to the media after an incident or an allegation?
• What insurance coverage should a church have?
• What screening and background checks should be used for church
workers?
• What policies should be implemented to protect children?
