NACPA is pleased to announce an all-new study guide for the publication Just Treatment for Those Who Work for the Church. Now Just Treatment and its guide are available as a kit, providing an excellent resource to take a deeper look at justice in all organizations.

HOW TO USE THE KIT
The kit is versatile and may be used in a small group setting or with larger groups.

• For example, consider gathering either a group of peers or people of diverse levels of responsibility within an organization. The advantage of peers who work directly with human resources at the same level is that they can share common issues and experiences as well as different perspectives. This may include pastors or principals.
• Another approach: welcome those who have diverse levels of responsibilities within a system to gain insights from various points of view. This could promote understanding of how issues impact people in different ways. An example would be gathering a mix of directors and managers within a system. Either way this resource, used individually or with a larger group, will help participants “take a deeper look and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Gospel message and moral principles that undergird their employment practices” (Chapp et al, 2019, p. 19).

First published 33 years ago, this 2019 edition is a vital resource to help all Church employers better understand the Gospel message and moral principles that guide all our employment decisions.

“NACPA’s Just Treatment was important and groundbreaking before and the updated revision is even more critical now,” notes John Carr, Director, Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life, Georgetown University and a NACPA keynote speaker.
