Congregations as Social Organizations
vs.
Faith Based Organizations
Conclusion
In closing, even though these two types of organizations have their differences the main point they are trying to make is the security of their goals to be taken care of without any type of worry especially if it is difficult to bring certain topics to light the best way to achieve change is to embrace the bad as well.
Serving as Social Service Providers
Main Purpose
The best way to put a look on FBO`s is to understand they are the social sector of services to be provided by the financial or volunteer contributions in support of the causes that are affecting the communities in certain ways for example, with churches, synagogues, or mosques its very typically for them to share their place to run certain services such as food drive, housing placement, or clothing stores while receiving donations.
Limitations
Besides, this strength brings a lot of good also comes with the bad as the difficult part is making sure you have the bets volunteers and funds at hand in order to continue the work at hand which can be felt as underappreciated during certain times especially if the staff is low.
Being the Advocator for Change
Ideally, within FBO`s the role of organizer is a high position to have especially during the point of social and political change that affectes the work at hand while trying to combat many issues such as homelessness, hunger, human rights, and political reform.
Drawbacks
Not surprisingly, with these organizations wanting to collaborate with other organizations can be proven to be difficult considering how different opinions on social matters and political views comes into play but have to be talked about in order for the right change to happen that have affected holy spaces yet with the battles of change are won then you will see a big change come into play.
Size
Ideally, within these types of organizations we notice a pattern of certain groups such as Jewish or Christian church goers whose flock can be big or small that solely depends on the area and state for example typically within the Catholic church is widely spread out because of the many forms of it such as Orthodox or Reform that draws large masses of new and loyal followers that has become of the known religion in the world.
Organizational Structure
Voluntary Associations
Congregations` Voluntary Membership
This type of membership is completely voluntary with many of its members coming from their own communities who have came together to worship and provided the best services such as food banks, shelter placement, clothing drives, or bake sales to those they know are in need. With many of its members doing this kind of service either with no pay or to received a small fee yet it all depends on the funds these organizations make.
Roles
Within, voluntary organizations we see this hierarchy of roles given positions such as trustee or staff whereas this can hold many responsibilites of dealing with the many different opinions that are brought in to keep the organizations running.
Conflict
With an organization such as this it can be very difficult when dealing with poor decision making that are affecting the goals that are in place especially if you have existing members having to compete with new ones who don`t share the same ap-proaches on keeping their traditions alive or to change them in order to remain rev-elent for the changing times that are happening form outside forces such as poli-tics or social issues that affect the organizations as a whole ot share opinions have to be shared.
Congretation Size
Typically, with congretations the size can be counted as low as two members of this organization or into the thousands especially if it set in a city with a high population of individuals whereas in a rural, poor side the size can shrink yet makes it difficult to get more members in their ranks to provide services needed for their communities.
Leadership
Leadership with this kind of organization typically is done by a selected council of individuals who make the final decision about who is to sent who and to what church for example, in the Methodist Church denomination usually the decision making is up to the elders who sent their ministers to certain churches to wait a pe-riod of time of how they are being perceived.
Social Capital and Community Building
Worship
A congregation`s sole purpose is worship being that it is the main activity ideally to the fact of how many people would want worshipping to be done in a certain manner yet this is one of the many keys of building communities within churches and organizations that are governed by themselves but need federal funding.
