„The Need for Church-Related Agencies To Address Ethical Issues In A Time Of Declining Resources“, in: Arlene K. Nehring (Hg.), Proceedings of the CHHSM Forum 1997 on Ethical Issues in Child and Family Services, Cleveland: Diakonal Academy, 1997, 30-39.
In what follows, I argue that faith-based diakonal agencies can do so, but that theological and moral reasons alone will not be enough to bring about a change in the public’s attitude towards diakonal work. The appeal to people’s feelings and emotions has also to be taken into consideration as a crucial factor in any attempt to turn the tide.
