Faith-based fixes for Philly's future | Daily News | 04/26/2007

Faith-based fixes for Philly's future | Daily News | 04/26/2007: "ou can't put a price on compassion, but Cnaan's calculations show that the yearly 'replacement value' - what it would cost others to offer the social services that the congregations supply each year - is at least $250 million. That's without counting services supplied by faith-based groups that are not based at a house of worship.

Our informed guesstimate: All told, the city's faith-based sector delivers more than half a billion bucks a year in social services."
