- Synopsis
- This book is about communities of faith and their leaders, and it argues that they should better learn how to practice trust. The book comprises five chapters. Chapter 1 defines trust and explains how it works between individuals and within communities. Chapter 2 takes up the issue of confidentiality in the ministry. Chapter 3 draws upon the work of Michael Power on the proliferation of "audit societies." Chapter 4 addresses gossip, and Chapter 5 deals with the temptation of clergy to bullshit.
