Are you giving your bylaws the attention they demand? Most nonprofits begin their existence by filing articles of incorporation with the state. Another critical step is to draft an initial set of bylaws to establish key governance rules - how to call meetings; what constitutes a quorum; how to elect, add, and remove board members; how to form committees; and more.

Sam Wagar has produced a guidebook to starting a Wiccan Temple and church, and evaluating, recruiting and training both clergy and lay leadership. He considers both the theology and the practical nitty-gritty details of bylaws and organization on the ground, the types of services offered and the usefulness of larger scale associations of Temples. Wagar has been a Wiccan High Priest since 1985, organized a wide range of groups both secular and religious including a legal national church, a religious retreat, a provincial church, several covens, and two Green Party campaigns, among numerous others. As well as a wealth of practical experience he brings an academic mind to bear - he has an MA in history and a number of academic publications and this book is informed by the exchange theory of Stark and the practice theories of ritual of Bell among others. A solid piece of work. Unfortunately bound to ruffle a few feathers....

Gooch explores our everyday understanding of what it means to be an involved member of a church. His four categories help readers to think differently about the way they participate in church. Unlike many books on church membership, Gooch does not spend a lot of time on bylaws or matters of organization; rather, he speaks to the heart of our participation: how we belong, what we believe, how we live, and the possibilities for our growth in faith. Christians belong to a community of faith. Being a Christian in the Wesleyan Tradition shows we can live our faith in private and public acts of devotion and ministry.
