\"Budget<\/a>
\nIn a previous post<\/a> we considered how God designed the Church to function as a Body in an interdependent and unified way which means that even budgets become a process of Body Life. For this process to succeed, leaders need to foster the right kind of environment.<\/p>\n

The Kind of Environment that Fosters Body Life Even When Doing a Church Budget<\/h2>\n

1) A Culture of Interdependence<\/p>\n

involving others in the process<\/p>\n

2) A Context for Unity<\/p>\n

working together for the good of the whole<\/p>\n

3) A Climate of Safety in Sharing<\/p>\n

feeling safe to express opinions<\/p>\n

The Steering the Church Toward Body Life Leadership Guide<\/strong><\/a> expounds on these elements needed in an environment conducive to Body Life in relation to budgeting.<\/p>\n
