  • Title: Innovative service or proselytizing: exploring when services delivery becomes a platform for unwanted religious persuasion.
    Author: Sherr ME, Singletary JE, Rogers RK.
    Journal: Soc Work; 2009 Apr; 54(2):157-65. PubMed ID: 19366164.
    Abstract:
    In this article, the authors explore the question: When does services delivery cross the line and become an opportunity for proselytizing? The authors posit that social workers have a justifiable concern for usurping their professional and privileged roles to influence such an important part of their clients' lives. A case study of one Christian nonprofit agency indicates that social workers need to be cautious as they seek to provide ethical practice in religious settings. The authors conclude by recommending guidelines for social work practice in religious organizations.
