Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family, 10th Anniversary Edition
Teave selle audioraamatu kohta
Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family chronicles the rise of a growing grassroots movement: interfaith families choosing to celebrate both religions. Miller interweaves her own story with original reporting, and with hundreds of responses from original surveys of parents who chose both religions, and of their grown interfaith children.
She describes the formation of communities across the country, pioneering interfaith education for interfaith children, and how interfaith children can grow up to be ambassadors and peacemakers. The result is the first book by an adult interfaith child to advocate for the right of families to claim, and embrace, both family religions. Being Both is also the first book to give voice to a new generation of interfaith children growing up with formal interfaith education, as many of them move beyond traditional religious labels to claim more complex, flexible, or fluid spirituality.
Included here is an Author’s Note written specifically for this 10th Anniversary audiobook edition. It reflects on how the interfaith families landscape has changed in the past decade, and why this book is still essential.
