'Deep Governance Matters casts a contemporary light on faith-based ministries with a tone which is pithy, honest and engaging ... (It) encompasses a lot of common sense, for example, Who runs the organisation – the CEO or the Board? Many such apparently simple questions are asked, and the answers provided in this book show that they are often not the simple questions they first appear to be.' -– Brigid Arthur csb, AO Founder and Project Coordinator, Brigidine Asylum Seeker Project
