Synopsis
How should communities organize relief for the poor? This book surveys the big question and helps readers decide between religious and secular approaches.

She weighs the pros and cons of religious sisterhoods versus lay-led charities, with a clear focus on nursing, teaching, and almsgiving.

- Explore how teaching, nursing, and relief are treated within different organizing principles.
- Read about the historical examples used to illustrate how sisterhoods and lay charities operate.
- Understand the key questions that guide decisions about organization, purpose, and scope of aid.
Ideal for readers of social history, church history, and charitable administration seeking a thoughtful, balanced view of relief work.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and evolution of religious sisterhoods, focusing on their mission of serving the poor. The author provides detailed accounts of five sisterhoods from ancient and modern times, including the Deaconesses of the Primitive Church, the Beguines, and the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paule. By examining the origins, organization, and activities of these sisterhoods, the book sheds light on the motivations and challenges faced by women dedicated to charitable work. It highlights the role of sisterhoods in providing essential services to the poor, from teaching and nursing to almsgiving, and explores the theological and social debates surrounding their establishment and operation. The book argues that sisterhoods have played a crucial role in the history of social welfare and continue to offer valuable insights into the nature of poverty, the role of women in society, and the importance of compassion and service.
