How to become an effected Christian Social Workers
Draft Assignment
Chantell Haynes
Exposition of the Thesis
It's important to examine "usage of self" in relation to successful social work practice. Social
work is one of the most powerful ways we can encourage the connection and spirituality that
comes from feeling a part of a community and having meaningful relationships with people. The
"use of self" and the efficacy of social work are both affected by this. A spiritual nature is
essential to the human condition.
Outline
The results of social workers are examined to see how having a Christian perspective affects
their job. The efficacy of this is briefly discussed below. Notwithstanding the limited scope, this
study aspires to contribute to the ongoing conversation on the value, function, and significance of
spirituality in the field of social work. Notwithstanding the limited scope, this study aspires to
contribute to the ongoing conversation on the value, function, and significance of spirituality in
the field of social work. Insights from this study suggest that spirituality is an asset in the field of
social work. Indirect or direct, spiritual activities seem to be a useful means of aiding customers.
As spiritual practices gain greater mainstream acceptance in social work, more research is
required to fully understand how they impact the client-practitioner relationship and the larger
implications for social work practice.
Introduction
The first decade of the 21st century has seen a rise in interest in how religion and spirituality
factor into social work. Spirituality enables individuals to connect with a power greater than
themselves, therefore enriching their lives with purpose and meaning. It's important to consider
this while gauging the relationship between "use of self" and effective social work. This research
examines how adopting a Christian perspective affects the practice of social workers. The topic
of efficacy will be touched on briefly here. Despite the small scope, the aim is to contribute to
the greater discussion about the value, application, and function of spirituality in social work.
There is a growing trend among social workers to include spirituality into their practice because
of the positive effects it has on client outcomes and the community at large. A spiritual nature is
essential to the human condition. Take it into account while evaluating "use of self" and efficient
social work methods.
I'm Trying to Get Something Done
The overview of Christian social work gives readers a solid knowledge of its basics. Religious
social workers are not limited to employment in secular or non-profit organizations. Both secular
and government organizations, particularly those that provide for basic requirements, need
Christian employees (Bower & Solomon, 2017). Whether we react to these needs grudgingly,
gently, respectfully, patronizingly, or with disdain depends on what type of believer we are and
what kind of an example we offer as Christian social workers.
As long as the group's regulations don't have a religious foundation, they must be observed.
There is no tolerance for policy neglect or ambiguity. Customers have faith in a company's
reliability and their capacity to believe that a governing body or government will prudently
handle its foundational resources. However, a Christian can find it difficult to support a project
that exploits people spiritually or abuses them in a way that goes against Christian values.
Missionary
Similar to a missionary, a Christian social worker must first become fluent in the language of
their field before integrating their religion into their work. Therefore, it can be helpful to bring
out to a non-believer that sin is mostly responsible for what social scientists refer to as
"dysfunction" or "alienation." Our understanding of one another would considerably increase.
Our faith and how we treat others will serve as our primary witnesses. When we reflect on the
early Church, we can observe that it did not experience persecution, show compassion for one
