Faith-based organizations continue to play a significant role in
the provision of social work services in many countries but their
role within the welfare state is often contested. This text
explores their various roles and relationships to social work
practice, includes examples from different countries and a range of
religious traditions and identifies challenges and opportunities
for the sector. Social Work and Faith-based Organizations discusses
issues such as the relationship between faith-based organizations
and the state, working with an organization's stakeholders, ethical
practice and dilemmas, and faith-based organizations as employers.
It also addresses areas of debate and controversy, such as
providing services within and for multi-faith communities and
tensions between professional codes of ethics and religious
doctrine. Accessibly written by a well-known social work educator,
it is illustrated by numerous case studies from a range of
countries including Australia, the UK and the US. Suitable for
social work students taking community or administration courses or
undertaking placements in faith-based organizations, this
innovative book is also a valuable resource for managers and
religious personnel who are responsible for the operation of
faith-based agencies.
