This book uses empirical data and theoretical analysis to examine the role of faith communities as public actors — their contributions to welfare services, community cohesion (or fragmentation), and the implications of faith‑based involvement in modern governance. It explores issues of diversity, social capital, service provision, democracy, and the challenges and controversies surrounding faiths’ engagement with public policy and civil society
