Responsibility of family

Reference no: EM13215312

The Biblical design of care for the needy is that it was first the responsibility of the family, then the church and then the community at large. In today's culture the process has been reversed. The family is need is often referred to a social service program and the community is expected to provide the services and shoulder the expenses of the programs through taxes. Many progressive churches provide some resources, but at times reserve them for their members exclusively or coordinate outreach programs on a limited basis. The church is not always aware of the resources available in the community and may not be prepared to provide the counseling or financial resources needed to support the needy. Many families live away from their extended family and our culture supports the concept that adults should be functional and independent without extended family support.

Please discuss your thoughts on the responsibility of family, the church and the community to meet the needs of those in need(i.e. poverty, homelessness, domestic violence, child abuse and so on). If you attend a church that has outreach programs please discuss the population they are designed to reach and how services are provided. If you work within a care providing system please discuss how that system works within the community to meet the needs of the population.

Your response to this assignment should be at least 500 words in length
