Downloads

Current, Branded, and Clearly Identified

Offer only current, branded resources with version dates. Each PDF or guide should identify whether it is informational, a formal CAC policy, or a member-only resource. Outdated downloads should be archived rather than left live.

Resource Integrity

Educate, Don't Overpromise

CAC resources should educate rather than overpromise. Avoid presenting general information as legal, tax, academic, pastoral, or professional advice. Where a topic requires specialist review, direct users to an appropriately qualified professional or responsible church authority.
