As Church Law podcast’s reach expands, so too are the questions sent by its listeners. In this episode, Erika is joined by Matthew Branaugh, attorney and editor for Church Law & Tax. Together, they tackle several questions church leaders frequently ask, including: ·      What are the steps to dissolve a church? ·      What legal liability does a church face if it allows someone who is potentially violent to attend? ·      What is the best way to honor ministers with monetary gifts? ·      What are the risks associated with using others’ music and lyrics on social media platforms? ·      How should a church handle its property tax exemption? Learn the answers to these and several more relevant questions—and feel free to send your questions for a future episode to [email protected].  The Church Attorney's Guide to Church Mergers by Erika E.
