The Ambiguous Embrace: Government and Faith-Based Schools and Social Agencies Paperback - 2002
by Charles L. Glenn; Foreword by Peter L. Berger
First line
OVER THE last half century, governments in Western democracies have collected an increased share of national wealth through taxation, and in turn have distributed it for such nonmilitary purposes as income subsidies, schooling, health care, and many other activities that in the past were carried out by voluntary efforts, local institutions, and for-profit organizations.
From the rear cover
"This book has much to offer scholars and policymakers. The recommendations with which Glenn concludes are challenging and are likely to spark useful debate."--William Galston, University of Maryland, College Park
"Glenn's argument is an impressive one, making a comprehensive case for a new relationship between government and faith-based organizations that will meet the Constitution's First Amendment requirements, protect the autonomy of the faith-based organizations, and answer some of the most important questions about the crisis of the welfare state and the relation of government to civil society."--James W. Skillen, Center for Public Justice
