All faiths rely heavily on the goodwill of their followers to undertake work on their behalf. But how do different faiths recognize this important aspect of volunteering? Where does service as an expression of faith end and volunteering begin? Are there benefits to trying to define “volunteer management” within faith-based communities?
In this important and thought-provoking Keyboard Roundtable, an international panel of key clergy and lay leaders from different faiths address these important questions, and more.  Their answers will benefit volunteerism practitioners of all faiths.
