Product Description

We 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 co-worker 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", winner of the Best Reference Book of the Year award. Completely revised, with an expanded glossary of common religious terms and names and a new section focusing on the meaning of popular religious symbols, this easy-to-read guidebook 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.
