COMMON BELIEF, CONTESTED MEANINGS: DEVELOPMENT AND FAITH-BASED ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE
Since the 1990s, an increasing number of development agencies have attempted to incorporate faith-based development organisations into mainstream 'secular' partnerships. Development scholars have responded to these trends by seeking to understand the range of ways that faith might matter in development. Far less emphasis has been placed on how development itself might be influencing faith organisations or their values of development. The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between organisational culture and development within a Catholic prelature in the southern Andes of Peru. By examining changes in development practice and perspective over time and tracing the relationship between development values across scales of organisation, I analyse the various ways that religiously-inspired development values are navigated, integrated and contested in the formulation and funding of development projects.
