This first study of faith-based development NGOs' (FBOs) political
roles focuses on how U.S. FBOs in international development educate
and mobilize their constituencies. Most pursue cautious reformist
agendas, but FBOs have sometimes played important roles in social
movements. Nelson unpacks those political roles by examining the
prominence of advocacy in the organizations, the issues they
address and avoid, their transnational relationships, and their
relationships with religious and secular social movements. The
agencies that educate and mobilize U.S. constituencies most
actively are associated with small Christian sects or with
non-Christian minority faiths with historic commitments to activism
or service. Specialized advocacy NGOs play important roles, and
emerging movements on immigration and climate may represent fresh
political energy. The book examines faith-based responses to the
crises of climate change, COVID-19, and racial injustice, and
argues that these will shape the future of religion as a moral and
political force in America, and of NGOs in international
development.
