Abstract The role of religiously affiliated organizations and congregations as social service providers has received increasing attention during a period of governmental support for public funding of faith-based social services. The current policy initiative provides a context for exploration of issues and dilemmas in service delivery that may arise in such settings. Findings from a multi-method evaluation of The Salvation Army of Greater Philadelphia, a long-standing, religiously affiliated organization, provides a window through which to view issues reflective of those that may be encountered in other faith-based organizations.
