Death (N/A) - Softcover
The Standing Conference on Inter-Faith Dialogue in Education was formed in 1973 to convene, or encourage the convening of national and regional inter-faith conferences concerned with education in school and community, including religious education, and to circulate or publish reports of the proceedings of findings of those conferences. The conference includes representatives of the Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh faiths as well as representatives of organizations concerned with inter-faith and race relations. Attitudes to death and what lies beyond, funeral liturgies and burial customs all vary according to faith and culture. So what are the differences between Jews and Christians, Hindus and Buddhists, Sikhs and Muslims? Death is the second book in the series Living Faiths, started with Initiation Rites. This book helps us all not only to understand the meaning of death, but helps us also through death to a new awareness of God.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Aimed at students and teachers of World Religions, this study analyses the concept of death and how the different religions treat and confront this unavoidable natural event. It produces accurate and broad information for the use of teachers and students of World Faiths, providing an insight into the faith and practise of their neighbours and a greater understanding of how it feels to belong to a culture different from their own. An introductory chapter by Geoffrey Parrinder explains the importance of the subject of death in all religions and offers a classification of faiths attending to its treatment. Consecutives chapters explain each one of the faiths treated and a final postscript by the editor remarks how important is to prepare our children for living as well as for dying. Living Faiths is a series on Rites of Passage in the major religions of the world, covering Marriage and the Family, Initiation Rites Death. Together these provide a fascinating exercise in tolerance and understanding. Newly reprinted, this invaluable resource for teachers and students discusses the various approaches of the major world religions to death and dying. Includes extracts from funeral liturgies and accounts of burial ceremonies. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
