Abstract
This chapter delves in greater detail into the role of faith‐based liaisons and offices of faith‐based and community initiatives. The practices, tasks, personal goals, ideals, and duties of individual liaisons and OFBCIs are examined. Data from interviews with these state liaisons reveals a complex on‐the‐ground reality of implementation of state faith‐based initiatives. Understanding state‐level implementation of faith‐based initiatives thus required answering two questions: What actions do faith‐based liaisons take to implement the Initiative? Who are these liaisons? The history of the faith‐based initiative has been tied to the activities of a few dedicated individuals who strongly believe in the role of religion in social services. Many of these individuals now feel that the true power behind the initiative has been stripped and that what has been left in its place is a mere game of politics.
