Abstract
Religion has been discussed frequently as playing an important role in the migration and integration of immigrants. Little research has, however, been carried out on the role that religion plays in immigrant welfare. Using a comparative approach the study on which this paper is based sought to explore this question. Its findings demonstrate that religion plays an important role in many ways but that its importance varies both between and within the major religions of Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. On the whole they show that a majority of religious immigrants prefer to take their problems to someone of the same religious and ethnic background, and that such workers are ideally located in either community agencies or religious agencies with an ethnic emphasis.
