Abstract
This paper examines organized religion as a driving force within the social welfare state and looks at religious organizations as human service providers. Following a brief historical overview, the contemporary significance of organized religion for special population groups is discussed. Information is presented on religious institutions, religiously affiliated organizations, and religious congregations for incorporation into existing courses in social work policy, organization, administration, and community practice.
