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.
