dc.description.abstractTrust in politics and institutions, as well as the upholding of social cohesion, is presently under pressure globally. This has side effects for the work of civil society organizations that take on social challenges. Thus, this seems to be an appropriate time for a special issue focusing on specific civil society organizations, such as faith-based organizations, which devote themselves to addressing the challenges of poverty and social exclusion in many societies. In some contexts, when dealing with the tradition of the Christian faith, such organizations are referred to as “diaconal organizations” within a longstanding tradition. In other contexts, these organizations fall into the category of “Christian social practice” or are recognized as “development actors” (faith-based development organizations) in the still relatively new field of religion and development.
