| Annotation | Faith communities are part of but different to the voluntary sector. Religious groups can challenge our professional values, such as being non-judgmental when it comes to issues such as abortion, homosexuality or divorce. How much reliance should we place on the views of religious leaders when consulting communities? How do we reconcile the funding of separate services for different faiths with the promotion of community cohesion? And are we clear about the distinction between race and faith when it comes to providing services for minority communities? Although religion can lead to divisions within communities, discrimination is still the greatest obstacle to social cohesion. (RH). |
