The problem with churches getting involved in social action is that they don't always have the resources or experience to do a good job of it. An antidote to this is for a church to employ a social worker. Of course!

Provocative! Two thoughts:
1. This is a good reason to pray that God grows some churches large, so that they can employ this.
2. You shouldn't employ a social worker unless your church is large, or otherwise carefully planned. Otherwise there would be a very real danger to confuse what your 'core business' as a church was.
Fair calls.
The other way that any church can get involved is to give money to organisations already doing a good job. Oh and to just care for struggling people that you know personally.
