The door is open on purpose. Here is how to keep it that way.
A house of worship takes the one door every other institution guards most carefully and makes it the easiest door in town to walk through. That is not a flaw. It is the point. But it means the people who run the building have a job nobody trained them for.
The Doors Are Always Open is for them: the pastor, the rabbi, the imam, the gurdwara committee, the temple trustee, the Orthodox parish council, the usher captain, the youth leader, and the retired officer who was asked to "put a little team together." Written by a security executive with more than two decades protecting open, high-traffic facilities, it sets out honestly and without fear what actually goes wrong in places of worship, and what ordinary congregations of every faith have done about it, at every budget.
Inside:
- The real record: fire, fraud, and abuse of children, not only the attack on the news
- Why protecting the congregation is an act of faith, in the language of each tradition
- Building a safety team the congregation isn't afraid of, and the honest case for and against arming it
- Federal and state grants and free help that most congregations never claim
- Greeters, doors, keys, cameras, the nursery, and the collection plate
- Fire, medical emergencies, weather, hate and harassment, domestic violence, the active threat, and the biggest days of the year
- Shelters, food programs, thrift stores, and street ministries
- Synagogues, mosques, Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, and Black churches, gurdwaras, Hindu, Buddhist and Jain temples, each on its own terms
- A forty-point self-assessment, a one-page emergency plan, and templates you can use this week
Nothing here asks you to stop being who you are. The doors stay open. That is the whole point.
