Congregational Mentoring and Discipleship
This article describes a phenomenological study of youth mentoring in 50 Midwestern Christian congregations, with specific attention to the relevance of congregational mentoring for professional social work. Findings revealed that most mentoring relationships were congruent with goals of Christian discipleship and focused on existing congregation members. Evangelical churches were more intentional and expansive than nonevangelical Protestant and …

Belief in Personal Control Among Low-Income African American, Puerto Rican, and European American Single Mothers
This study examined belief in personal control among low-income single mothers (African American, Puerto Rican, and European American) in an economically distressed region in the Northeast, who were recruited from child care centers and community programs. A factor analysis of the Belief in Personal Control Scale supported the three hypothesized subscales of the measure—God-mediated control, external control, and exaggerated personal control. The…
Faith-Based Human Services Initiatives
Faith-based human services initiatives present numerous challenges to professional social work. This article explores ways a theoretical integration of ecosystems and structuration perspectives may help social workers navigate complex ideological and practical implications of changing service delivery policies. The article highlights diversity among faith-related providers, with presentation of a services typology relevant to social work and ethi…
Spirituality and Faith-Based Social Services
Spiritual aspects of faith-based social services are rarely addressed in discussions of policy initiatives encouraging greater involvement of faith-based providers in service delivery. This article reports findings of a qualitative study of the values, beliefs, and practices of non-congregational faith-based service providers. Twenty-two providers in Midwestern and northwestern regions of the U.S. were asked about the spiritual bases of their pro…
Linking Feminist Social Work and Feminist Theology in Light of Faith-Based Service Initiatives
Feminist theology and feminist social work share similar values, social concerns, and institutional challenges, although interdisciplinary dialogue is rarely described in the professional literature. This article discusses the relevance of feminist theology to feminist social work, using narratives of women in faith-based service communities to identify common domains of practice and philosophy. Historical and contemporary narratives are discusse…
Embodied Practice
Although social work practice typically is concerned with physical conditions and experiences such as poverty, addiction, and violence, relatively little attention has been given to the body in professional literature. Emphasizing both physical and sociocultural dimensions of the body, this article argues for an invigorated, more complex understanding of the body in social work theory, practice, and research. Drawing from scholarship in the human…
Marginalized Epistemologies

It describes bodily and spiritual knowledge and the themes that emerged, including mothering, addiction, recovery, stress, faith, and prayer. It also emphasizes the relationship between social marginalization and marginalized ways of knowing, focusing on th…
