内容説明

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 colleague whose faith is different from our own. 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. Featured faith traditions include: African American Methodist Churches . Assemblies of God . Baha'i . Baptist . Buddhist . Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) . Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) . Churches of Christ . Episcopalian and Anglican . Hindu . Islam . Jehovah's Witnesses . Jewish . Lutheran . Mennonite/Amish . Methodist .
