ABSTRACT
On the face of it postmodernism as a philosophy would seem to clash with institutionalized religions and social services provided under religious auspices. Whereas all religions contain a set of beliefs and truths that endure over time, the postmodern position emphasizes beliefs and truths that are contextually anchored and impermanent. The analysis in this paper shows that in relation to social agencies under religious auspices this is not always the case and discusses some of the contextualized aspects of religious social services.
