To help those who choose to offer this type of pro.gram, we have provided the following guidelines and illustrations. This guidance is based on a mix of law and ethics because the law is sometimes unclear and may fall short of the standard ethics require. It is not enough for a religious provider receiving tax funds to follow some of these guidelines they come as a package deal. If, after reviewing this advice, you feel that you could not comply with this guidance, then we recommend maintaining a privately funded social service program. It consists of volunteers who provide a variety of services to help welfare recipients move off welfare and into work.
Bible study is an integral component of the program.
Tough Love is a drug rehabilitation program that relies on acceptance of the gospel for rehabilitation. Religious activities and instruction are woven throughout Tough Love's program. An-Nur is a mosque that offers a literacy program. It uses the Qu ran, the Muslim holy scriptures, in its instruction and begins each educational session with a devotion led by an imam, a Muslim cleric. Solutions may also offer privately funded Bible studies as long as the Bible studies are separate from the tax-funded counseling and it is made clear to the beneficiaries that these religious activities are privately funded and participation in them is purely voluntary.
