Government support for faith-based organizations: the case of a development programme for faith leaders

, &
Pages 363-370 | Published online: 12 Oct 2011
 

Abstract

A government initiative to train faith leaders usefully extended existing provision, but will require continuing support for some years. Broader community leadership is not always expected from those holding religious positions. The challenges involved in bridging linguistic and cultural differences highlight some of the reasons why initiatives like this are needed.
