Abstract
The sustainable management of public and not-for-profit organisations is not as new aconcept as it may at first appear to be. The Christian Church is among the earliest of the not-for-profit organisations, and developed practices designed to safeguard and preserve theheritage of the Church. This was partly because of the need to maintain the operation of theChurch in the future, but was also influenced by biblical injunctions to stewardship. This paper considers the implications of that charge for the management of religious bodies, in particular the legal obligation imposed by canon law and/or theology, to be sustainable.
