碩士 === 長榮大學 === 社會工作學系碩士班 === 99 === The research in this paper looks into Presbyterian Church Social Service Agencies in
the Tainan Region. It delves into agencies directly related to local congregations,
analyzing their management structures, their encounters with communities, their welfare
services and the advantages and limitations that they face because of their being both
“faith-based” and “non-governmental.”.
Research was conducted by reading documents and conducting interviews in order to
ascertain these agencies’ internal management structures and external relationships.
Topics considered included aspects of internal management and influence from church
organizations. It was discovered that churches maintain a tight grasp on these agencies
and wield great power. In analyzing the external relationships of the agencies in terms of
volunteers and sources of funding, there was great variation. Those who gave of their lab
our and substance were often motivated by their religious faith. Analysis of public sector
cooperation revealed an over-dependence on government subsidies that often led to
temporary shortages of funds and difficult situations. Analysis of the agencies’
relationships to congregations found a conflict between the assertions that the agency was
in place to “serve” over against expectations from inside the church that it existed to
“spread the gospel”. Clarifying the difference between the two was not an easy topic for
discussion when congregational leaders had heavy faith-related expectations. Their points
of view can be seen to exert a constant pressure on the agencies concerned.
Key Words:Faith-Based Non-Governmental Organizations, Presbyterian Church,
Associations, Government, Organizational Management.
