- W639261708 abstract "This paper is drawn from a thesis submitted to the Kimmage Development Studies Centre, Dublin, in partial fulilment of the requirements for the degree of MA in Development Studies. The paper relects on the characteristics of faith-based organisations – with a particular focus on evangelical faith-based organisations - and the roles of these characteristics in shaping views and practices of development, particularly among ield workers. What people believe in affects what they do and how they do it. Faith therefore, expectedly, affects development practice. But a shared faith on its own does not necessarily guarantee a coherent approach to development among staff, as this case study of Norwegian Lutheran Mission (NLM) illustrates. Despite the common denominational and cultural background, there were in this particular organisational environment still signs of unclear or dual purposes, and somewhat fragmented approaches to development thinking in the ield. Deining the role of faith in forging development views very much seemed to be up to the individual ield worker.Faith-based organisations may at irst glance seem to have an advantage compared to mainstream NGOs, in terms of being made up of a relatively ideologically homogenous staff body. However, a faith-based organisation (FBO) that wants to ensure a coherent and consistent approach to development thinking cannot assume this will happen naturally. It has to work hard if it wishes to forge a common understanding of purpose and practice. Within this particular organisational environment – the evangelical mission organisation - the hybridity of being ‘both’ a development agency and an evangelising organisation seems to be particularly at the core of understanding how views and practices are shaped. In this paper, the challenges presented by this hybridity are addressed and it is hoped that these considerations will be of relevance for all faith based organisations." @default.
