Church Integrity Systems: A Handbook
Abstract
Trust in institutions is waning across the globe, whether in governments, the judiciary, business, the media, or civil society - including religious and educational bodies. A key factor is the persistent prevalence of corruption within many institutions. Restoring trust demands a steadfast commitment to integrity, transparency, responsibility, and accountability. This book explores the Integrity Systems of Christian churches, examining the structures, realities, and both theological and political root causes of integrity failures. It presents insights and experiences from Church Integrity Systems across denominations and continents, offering biblical, ecclesiological, and ethical guidance. It includes 50 strategic recommendations with a wealth of codes of conduct, standards, and checklists. It is a valuable and practical handbook for believers and church leaders dedicated to upholding the integrity and credibility of their institutions.
