Includes index.
Drawing on their personal convictions and professional experience, the 16 Australian contributors who include politicians, judges, clergy and staff of church-based welfare agencies examine the relationship between church, state and civil society. They examine the tensions between the churches obligations as a service provider and their commitment to be agents of social justice and advocacy for people who are marginalised. Sections of the book focus on political, ethical, welfare and theological perspectives.
