A Practical Guide to Religious Etiquette for Business and Social Occasions
"My boss is Jewish and his father just died. What's the appropriate thing to do?"
"If you call a male Episcopal priest 'Father', what do you call a female priest?"
"I'm participating in a Catholic wedding and I need some guidlines on how to behave."
In our multifaith society, questions like these come up time and time again. And today, our neighbors, our co-workers, and even our in-laws and family members may be part of a belief system that's entirely new to us. This comprehensive guide includes:
** brief histories of various religions
** guidelines for weddings, funerals, and other rites of passage
** information on holidays and Sabbath observances, dietary laws, dress restrictions, and other customs and practices, and more!
You can learn the basics and subtleties of a wide range of faiths are all about- and helps you fit in comfortably and respectfully no matter what culture you visit.
