Bøker av Ram Cnaan

Cnaan calls upon religious-based organizations and the social work-social service community to put aside their differences and forge a "limited partnership" focusing on joint care for those in need-with attention to services for people of color, gays and lesbians, women, and programs for community empowerment and economic development.

Reveals many ways in which congregations are already working, beneath the radar, to care for people in need. This title provides empirical data to social scientists, religious studies scholars, and those involved in the debates over the role of faith-based organizations in faith-based services, and to clergy and congregation members themselves.
