The author provides relevant case law to underscore certain issues and offers helpful suggestions and checklists to aid ministers in providing protection to themselves, the churches and the church-sponsored programs with which they are affiliated. A glossary of terms as well as a pertinent bibliography add to the usefulness and accessibility of this resource.
