ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the issues brought about by introducing a course on religion and clinical practice into social work teaching in the University of Hong Kong. Since its inception, the social work curriculum has been tied to the “grand tradition” as reflected in the American context, and therefore the Hong Kong experience can be considered to reflect similar issues within the wider scene. The course instituted is based on the principle that religious beliefs are at the same level as all other beliefs which goes to make up the world and actions of social workers and their clients-assimilating the teaching of religion to the social work process and not to the study of comparative religion.
