But they haven\\u2019t stayed there.A recent World Magazine story noted:\\n"This practice from corporate America is now common among religious nonprofits. Done right, confidentiality agreements help institutions protect members\\u2019 privacy and can fend off ruinous litigation. But NDAs can also mask institutional disease and leader misconduct.
