Description
Social Work and Faith-based Organizations explores the complex relationships between faith-based organizations and social work practice. This accessible text examines various roles and challenges faced by these organizations, including their interactions with governments, stakeholders, and professional codes of ethics. Through case studies from Australia, the UK, and the US, the book addresses debates and controversies surrounding faith-based organizations, such as providing services in multi-faith communities and tensions between religious doctrine and professional standards. Suitable for social work students and professionals working in faith-based agencies, this innovative resource offers valuable insights into the sector's challenges and opportunities. Written by a well-known social work educator, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the role of faith-based organizations within the welfare state.
