A Practical Manual For Navigation Communications Before, During, and After A Crisis
In more than 20 years of ministry communication work, I have learned one truth above all others: a crisis is never a question of if, only of when. The pastor who insists his congregation is too small, too rural, too biblically grounded, or too obscure to face a crisis is the pastor most likely to face one unprepared. Crises are not visitations of judgment on the careless church and exemptions to the faithful one. They are simply the inevitable consequence of being human beings in community, stewarding finite trust in a fallen world.
