Sinopsis

The indispensable guidebook to help the well-meaning guest when visiting other people's religious ceremonies―updated and revised. New Edition! 4th edition―Updated, Revised, Expanded―New Glossary of Popular Religious Symbols "Finally, for those inclined to undertake their own spiritual journeys … tells visitors what to expect." ―New York Times We North Americans live in a remarkably diverse society, and it’s increasingly common to be invited to a wedding, funeral, or other religious service of a friend, relative, or coworker whose faith is different from our own. These can be awkward situations.... What will happen? What do I do? What do I wear? What do I say? What should I avoid doing, wearing, saying? Is it okay to use a video camera? How long will it last? What are their basic beliefs? Will there be a reception? Will there be food? Should I bring a gift? When is it okay to leave? These are just a few of the basic questions answered in How to Be a Perfect Stranger. This easy-to-read guidebook, with an “Everything You Need to Know Before You Go” checklist, helps the well-meaning guest to feel comfortable, participate to the fullest extent possible and avoid violating anyone’s religious principles―while enriching their own spiritual understanding. For people of all faiths, all backgrounds.
