**Exploring the relationship between spiritual motivation and identification in 
the philanthropic practice, this issue brings scholars and practitioners together
to debate, discuss, and examine a variety of findings from different viewpoints.**

Offering a selected sample of revised papers and presentations from the 14th annual
symposium sponsored by the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, this issue
fosters a deeper understanding of philanthropic action based upon spiritual and 
religious beliefs. Contributors discuss faith-guided giving, parachurch organisations,
the Native American experience of giving, the ethics of wealth, the role of faith-
related organisations in community building, and the role faith can play in our 
professional calling and in our giving.
