Att’y Interview: “Protecting Your Church in Case of Allegations of Abuse”
ChurchLaw&Tax has an interview with Texas attorney Richard J. Matthews, who advised the Boy Scouts of America during its child sexual-abuse crisis, by Bobby Ross Jr. here.
The interview focuses on insurance, but ends with this: “The most important thing is vigilance. You know you have to protect your congregation and your church; insurance is one layer of protection, but it obviously shouldn’t be viewed as the only layer.”
A related interview with Matthews about lessons he learned from advising the Boy Scouts is here.
