Places Of Worship: Leadership Influence On Threat Vulnerability, Joel Bigley

Journal of Applied Christian Leadership

Vulnerability to risk of loss is present in any place where people assemble. the perspective of leadership on existing threats and their response to emerging vulnerabilities directly relates to the probability of exploitation. this article discusses a method that leaders can use to minimize vulnerabilities in their places of worship. Vulnerability governance can reduce risk loss through the use of measurable controls. a predictive posture, through the use of environmental scanning and a mitigation method, helps leaders understand emerging and residual risks in places of worship.
