RELG 387 - Seminar: Religion and U.S. Social Welfare Policy and Social Work Practice: A Historical Perspective

3HU, WR
First Semester. This course focuses on the religious origin of social welfare institutions within the U.S., including Protestant, Catholic and Jewish traditions (Jewish sects, African American congregations, and conservative Protestant movements, to name a few), which have provided material, financial, and spiritual support. Given the constitutional clause establishing the separation of church and state, religious institutions established voluntary institutions that provided social support. This course also has a service-learning component.
