This chapter examines the ambiguous role of religiously affiliated charitable organizations within the field of social justice work in Russia and how these organizations promote new ethics and practices of humaneness, civility, and civic engagement in their social welfare work. Specifically, religiously affiliated charitable organizations creatively play with both the official and unofficial criteria and terminology for different types of organizations and assistance – development, charity, humanitarianism, nongovernmental, religious, and secular – in ways that enable them to work both outside and alongside state organizations. In so doing, not only do they trouble distinctions between secular and religious, state and non-state, governmental and nongovernmental, but they also contribute to a different form of civil society and civil activism in Russia.

AbstractThe essay in hand is an attempt to make use of systematic theoretical categories in order to describe the function of a defined professional field, social welfare work. On the basis of LUHMANN’S systematology, the definition and explanation of which is the subject of the first part of the essay, the functions of social work are analysed under the aspect of accomplishing the complexity between service-system and client-system, which is brought by way of social technology.To make evident the special significance of the theoretical disposition in this essay, it is based on a standardization, definition, and valuation of those functional definitions of social welfare work that are presently acknowledged.

On the life of Poseidonios there is but little reliable information elucidating the theme of this paper. The probable years of his birth and death are 135 and 51 B.C. About his background nothing is known except that Apameia in Syria was his place of origin. In view of the mixed population of that country one might surmise the presence of non-Hellenic ethnical components in his ancestry, but nothing is known about this. He was a disciple of the stoic philosopher Panaitios of Rhodes, probably at Athens; afterwards he became himself the head of the stoic school in Rhodes, where he must have acquired the citizenship, for he acted as a magistrate (‘prytanis’) and as an ambassador of the city. Strabo's praise of the exemplary social-welfare work at Rhodes (14, 653) seems to be derived from Poseidonios; in any case it is characteristic of Poseidonios' interest in social problems (see below p. 48).

Good Works and the Question of Self-Presentation in Tenrikyo

Good Works

As one of the older "new" religious movements in Japan, Tenrikyo has often struggled with its self-presentation to the public. This was especially so in its quest for legal recognition at certain times in its long history, but also in response to broader public suspicions. However, work by Tenrikyo members to benefit society should not be seen as public relations efforts to create a positive image for institutional growth and acceptance. A case in point is social welfare work undertaken quite early in the movement's history. Drawing on in-progress research and interviews focusing on Tenrikyo members' work with people suffering from Hansen's Disease (leprosy) in Japan, this essay makes the case that good works are not carried out to create a positive public image, but rather are pursued for the betterment of society and personal spiritual development.

Strengths Approach

This paper attempts to unpack strengths-based practice in social welfare in order to reveal the location of social justice within such an approach. Firstly, this paper will briefly explore the origins of a strengths approach, including historical development of the approach, mentioning some specific practice theories. The paper will then investigate the concepts, using Jim Ife's (1998) model of a social justice perspective in community development to achieve this.The two approaches will then be discussed in terms of how they should be used together to support not only positive casework, but effective social action, using the work of UnitingCare Burnside as examples.
