The research in this book will help faith base leaders to better understand the importance of basilicas demonstrating transparency to their donors and the public. Dr. Yulonda T. Griffin researched and interviewed several pastors to gain an understanding as to why many cathedrals do not share their annual financial reports with the public. This book displays interviewed responses by Pastors of small and mega churches reasoning as to why they believe transparency is not a necessity for churches to promote prudence. The author goes even further by displaying sample ways basilicas can promote financial transparency to gain the trust of government, donors and the public.
