The Arc of Faith-Based InitiativesReligion’s Changing Role in Welfare Service Provision /[electronic resource] :by John P. Bartkowski, Susan E. Grettenberger. - 1st ed. 2018. - XI, 214 p.online resource.

Chapter 1—Faith-Based Persistence and Permutations -- Chapter 2—Faith-Based Initiatives Reconsidered: The Complicated Relationship Between Religion and Social Welfare Service Provision -- Chapter 3—Faith-based versus Secular Support for Fragile Families: Parent Education in the Rural South -- Chapter 4—Across the Continuum of Care: Transitional Housing Programs in the Midwest -- Chapter 5—Addiction Recovery: Residential Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs in the Pacific Northwest (Steven Rathgeb Smith with Bejamina Menashe) -- Chapter 6— Does Faith Matter? Client Transformation in Parenting, Housing, and Addiction Recovery Programs -- Conclusion—Promising Partners or Strange Bedfellows? Faith-Based Providers and Government Funders after Welfare -- Appendix A: Methods in Brief -- Appendix B: Research Instruments -- Appendix C: Descriptions of Programs and Agencies.

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.
