How do I know I am safe in church? Or that anyone I bring is safe in church?

Edited by Mark Stirling, a former medical doctor and pastor, and Mark Meynell, the Director of Langham Preaching, this book wants to remind us that the misuse of power is not a new problem; there are profound Biblical, theological, and historical precedents for thinking about how power can be used, and abused.
