Development Across Faith Boundaries

Herausgeber: Ware, Anthony; Clarke, Matthew

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Increasingly, faith-based organisations (FBOs) work with a wide range of partners, both within and outside their own faiths. Development Across Faith Boundaries explores the dynamics of activities by local or international FBOs which cross faith boundaries, whether with their partners, donors or recipient communities. Development Across Faith Boundaries demonstrates how far FBOs extend their activities beyond their own faith communities and will be an invaluable guide for graduates, researchers and students with an interest in development and religious studies, as well as practitioners within the aid sector.
