Church Hiring and Volunteer Selection A Legal and Policy Guide

In our increasingly litigious society, churches and religious organizations need to pay careful attention to the changing legal landscape. Church Hiring and Volunteer Selection addresses the growing issue of church hiring (and firing) practices - and provides a user-friendly guide to educate church members in how to avoid negligent hiring claims.
This is not just a legal handbook; Lynn R. Buzzard and Susan M. Edwards write in a theological context and address the mission of the church in today's society. Buzzard and Edwards discuss hiring in various special contexts, including the hiring of child-care workers. A 78-page appendix contains numerous forms that can be used in the hiring process.
