- Abstract
Social workers are called to advocate for the oppressed and marginalized groups of persons who face social injustices because of poverty, health conditions, and discrimination. Some Christian social workers might experience a dilemma when the call to advocate is for a specific group of individuals, such as the GLBT community, often regarded as living in contrast to Biblical teachings. This article provides an example of a policy class assignment for baccalaureate level social work students on the topic of HIV/AIDS and its relationship with the GLBT community. It offers constructive approaches to helping students maintain integrity with their personal and social work values and develop competent practice skills.
