As announced last week, we have launced a new industry group call "Church Risk Management", which is designed to open up discussion relative to risk management issues and exposures in local churches.  While I realize there are very few currently involved with RIMS that are either employed by a church or service churches, many of you are members of local churches and you too have a vested interest in what this is all about.

Glen Evans from Church Security Alliance interviewed me for 30 minutes on Tuesday, June 9, 2009. We dealt with various issues relative to church safety and security. I encourage pastors, church leaders, church members and risk management personnel to spend some time listening to our discussion and gaining a greater understanding of some of the exposures we are facing in our churches today.
