Social Work as the Consequence of a Christian Attitude
HEJZLAROVÁ, Noemi
This Bachelor´s thesis looks first at the subject of helping the needy in the Holy Scriptures. It presents faith as the base for Christian assistence to the needy. The source of strength for this work is God?s love, which gives worth to every human being. Since God loves man, and proved this love on the cross, man can love both himself and those around him. Through assistence to the needy, the world can have a taste of God?s love. Service to our neighbors is also service to God, who identifies Himself with the needy. The thesis describes helping the needy as an inseparable component of the Church, and as a criterion of true faith. It then compares the approaches of the Baptist Union, the Evangelical Brethren Church, and of the Roman Catholic Church, with regards to helping the needy, based on selected church documents.
