One of the first initiatives of the Bush presidency was the Faith- Based Community Development Initiative. Little of this new thrust has been spelled out beyond the purpose of promoting access to federal funds for religious-based organizations to provide social services. Furthermore, to date, only the faith-based aspect of the initiative has been talked about; hence, it can be called the Faith-Based Initiative, or FBI. John J. DiIulio, Jr., of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Research on Religion and Urban Civil Society, who will head this effort, is best known for his discredited theory of predatory teenagers. The FBI has raised a flock of concerns: about First Amendment church-state relations; why it has been proposed; its impact on existing services; and what it portends for users of services, for social work, and for women.
