摘要

This article considers religious charities from an original perspective, that of their economic contributions to society as an alternative argument to those who wish to see religious charities struck from the charity sector. This is timely because of recent national and international changes to charity law legislation and policies. In essence, the article has demonstrated that religious charities contribute significantly in economic terms to New Zealand society generally, and further, measuring the public benefit of religious charities through an economic lens may assist in determining the differing ways in which religious charities contribute to, and benefit, society.
