Synopsis

Learning about one another's faiths provides the key to respect and tolerance. 'Initiation Rites' provides one angle from which to develop knowledge of different faiths, by focusing on the huge diversity in the customs and attitudes underlying initiation ceremonies in the world's religions. The collection includes notes and comments from senior figures of the faiths in question, and is an invaluable resource for teachers preparing their pupils for life in the multi-faith 'global community' of which we are already members 'Initiation Rites' is one of a series of three books in the Living Faiths series. The other titles are 'Marriage and the Family' (ISBN 978-0718824440), and 'Death' (ISBN 9780718830861). The series promotes a comprehensive inter-faith understanding by outlining the diverse attitudes and ceremonies found in different faiths. The series has close links with the Standing Conference on Inter-Faith Dialogue in Education, of which the series editor was former Publications Secretary.
