This volume offers an in-depth examination of a diverse range of
faith-based programs implemented in three different geographical
locales: family support in rural Mississippi, transitional housing
in Michigan, and addiction recovery in the Pacific Northwest
(Washington-Oregon). Various types of religious service
providers-faith-intensive and faith-related-are carefully examined,
and secular organizations also serve as an illuminating point of
comparison. Among other insights, this book reveals how the "three
C's" of social service provision-programmatic content,
organizational culture, and ecological context-all combine to shape
the delivery of welfare services in the nonprofit world. This book
warns against simplistic generalizations about faith-based
organizations. Faith-based providers exhibit considerable diversity
and, quite often, remarkable resilience in the face of challenging
social circumstances. An appreciation of these nuances is critical
as policies concerning faith-based organizations continue to
evolve.
