WHY FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS NEED TO BE AT THE TABLE
Access, Knowledge, Trust
As an ever-present and tangible manifestation of voluntary service and civic engagement in our society, faith-based communities are a part of every community – not apart from them. Yet we often overlook these communities as viable partners because of deeply ingrained lessons on the separation of church and state, codified by our founding fathers. They have significant competence and knowledge to contribute, born of a history of providing services and supports. They provide access to their communities – entrée for outsiders to the many cultures that make up our nation – because they are trusted. Many faith-based communities nurture core values of active citizenship, community self-reliance, and public spiritedness that are vital to building effective partnerships.
