Religious Pluralism and Social Welfare

“In this situation social workers are faced with a permanent dilemma. In their field activities, the workers must not assume a judgmental and moral stance in their therapeutic relation to the client public, but at the same time they must encourage a spirit of moral judgment within a society whose structures and values sustain and excuse exploitation and injustice. It is at this point in the development of a new social theory of values, and in the education and evangelizing work that is so necessary, that it remains profitable, even imperative, for social work to maintain its alliance with religion.”
