"The things Miss Manners forgot to
tell us about religion."
—The L A. Times
These easy-to-use guidebooks help the
well-meaning guest of any other faith feel at ease, participate
to the fullest extent possible, and avoid violating anyone's
religious principles or hurting their feelings. Not a guide to
theology. Not presented from the perspective of any particular
faith.
What will happen? What do I do? What do I
wear? What do I say? When is it OK to leave? What should I
avoid doing, wearing, or saying? What are their basic beliefs?
Should I bring a gift? These are just a few of the basic, very
practical questions answered in How
to Be a Perfect Stranger, two books
that belong in every living room, library, and office.
Originally published in hardcover by Jewish Lights Publishing,
these updated and expanded trade paperback editions now include
information for the Canadian branches of each faith, plus an
added chapter on the largest Protestant denomination in Canada,
The United Church of Canada.

Be a Perfect Stranger is based
