商品簡介
The ten papers of this volume, written by American social workers, provide perspectives on the use and usefulness of social services provided by faith-based organizations. Topics include the historical role of faith organizations in social welfare, the basis for charity in the major religions, the importance of spirituality throughout the life cycle, and the role of the faith organization in shaping a new concept of spirituality. The charitable work of a Korean-American church and a 12-step model proposed by Tirrito (social work, U. of South Carolina, Columbia) are offered as models.
