The Church Welfare Plan (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436709828)

The Church Welfare Plan by Albert E. Bowen is a comprehensive guide to the welfare system established by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The book provides a detailed history of the Church's welfare program, which was first introduced during the Great Depression, and outlines the principles and practices that guide its operation.Bowen explains how the Church's welfare system is based on the principles of self-reliance, work, and stewardship, and how it is designed to help individuals and families in need while also promoting their independence and self-sufficiency. He describes the various programs and services offered by the Church, including food and clothing assistance, employment training, and financial counseling, and provides examples of how these programs have helped people in different circumstances.The book also discusses the role of volunteers and local leaders in the Church's welfare system, and how they work together to identify and address the needs of their communities. Bowen emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and accountability in the welfare system, and encourages readers to become more involved in helping others and supporting the Church's efforts to alleviate poverty and suffering.Overall, The Church Welfare Plan is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the principles and practices of the Church's welfare system, and how it is making a positive difference in the lives of people around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
