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.
