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.
Reviews / Votes
"In conclusion, the book contains a wealth of information about an important area of social work and social welfare provision that is to date under researched and, perhaps, often little understood. As such, it can be of value to all involved in social work, whether as qualifying students, practitioners or those in management and policy formulationand it may open the door to further research into the wealth of settings and agencies within which social work is practised." - Nigel Elliott, Independent Social Worker, Journal of Social Work Practice'This is a valuable book that acknowledges the importance of faith-based organisations and social work. It is the culmination of a major research project in which social workers in Australia and Scotland were interviewed. Throughout the text the "voices" of these social workers come through as they reflect on themselves and their practice in such agencies. Intertwined with this is a comprehensive analysis of the literature.' - Peter Camilleri School of Health and Society, University of Wollongong, Australian Social Work

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
