Congregational Trauma: caring, coping & learning

All congregations experience stress. However, occasionally a congregation goes through some sort of major tragedy - for example a fire, a sexual misconduct scandal, or the untimely death of a pastor - that requires a completely different order of coping skills.

This book addresses those needs comprehensively. It includes care strategies, how to adapt worship, assessment tools for measuring healing, how the judicatory can help, how to handle the media, and how tragedy can give rise to learning.
