Being Both by Susan Katz Miller Pdf
A book on the growing number of interfaith families raising children in two religions Susan Katz Miller grew up with a Jewish father and Christian mother, and was raised Jewish. Now in an interfaith marriage herself, she is one of the growing number of Americans who are boldly electing to raise children with both faiths, rather than in one religion or the other (or without religion). In Being Both, Miller draws on original surveys and interviews with parents, students, teachers, and clergy, as well as on her own journey, to chronicle this controversial grassroots movement. Almost a third of all married Americans have a spouse from another religion, and there are now more children in Christian-Jewish interfaith families than in families with two Jewish parents. Across the country, many of these families are challenging the traditional idea that they must choose one religion. In some cities, more interfaith couples are raising children with “both” than Jewish-only. What does this mean for these families, for these children, and for religious institutions? Miller argues that there are distinct benefits for families who reject the false choice of “either/or” and instead embrace the synergy of being both. Reporting on hundreds of parents and children who celebrate two religions, she documents why couples make this choice, and how children appreciate dual-faith education. But often families who choose both have trouble finding supportive clergy and community. To that end, Miller includes advice and resources for interfaith families planning baby-welcoming and coming-of-age ceremonies, and seeking to find or form interfaith education programs. She also addresses the difficulties that interfaith families can encounter, wrestling with spiritual questions (“Will our children believe in God?”) and challenges (“How do we talk about Jesus?”). And finally, looking beyond Judaism and Christianity, Being Both provides the first glimpse of the next interfaith wave: intermarried Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist couples raising children in two religions. Being Both is at once a rousing declaration of the benefits of celebrating two religions, and a blueprint for interfaith families who are seeking guidance and community support.

Mixed-Up Love by Jon M. Sweeney,Michal Woll Pdf
Dating, commitment, kids, and family--it's all hard work, and when you come from different religious backgrounds it's even harder. Jon, a Catholic writer, and Michal, a Reconstructionist rabbi, live out the challenges of an interfaith relationship everyday as husband and wife, and as parents to their daughter Sima, who is being raised Jewish. In MIXED-UP LOVE, the couple explores how interfaith relationships impact dating, weddings, holidays, raising children, and family functions--and how to not just cope, but thrive. This is an engaging and practical resource for singles who are considering dating outside their own faith, couples in interfaith relationships, relatives and friends of "mixed" couples who seek information and understanding, and parents desiring a fresh perspective. With clarity, insight, and humor, Sweeney and Woll demonstrate how to engage with your partner, family, and faith like never before.

Your Interfaith Wedding by Laurie Sue Brockway Pdf
For those looking to create a personalized wedding ceremony that honors and celebrates the diverse religious, racial, or ethnic backgrounds of the couple and their families, this book provides expert guidance for perfectly blending traditions and faiths. "Alternative" wedding ceremonies are quickly becoming the norm in the United States as ethnic cultures merge and people willingly embrace love where they find it. Couples planning an interfaith, interethnic, or interracial marriage often encounter difficulty identifying the right rituals and language for their ceremony or struggle to appease their parents or relatives. This book will help couples learn more about each other's faiths and family mindset, freeing them to create a wedding that truly blesses their married life. Reverend Brockway explains her motivation to write this text: "This book was a very personal mission for me. As an interfaith minister, I deal with so many diverse couples, from so many different backgrounds, but the common denominator with all couples boils down to love. So the book focuses on celebrating the love between the couple as the most important part of the ceremony, and weaves in honoring family, cultures, and traditions in a way that is personally meaningful to the couple." Contains insights shared by brides and grooms, interviews and information from other attributed sources, as well as special contributions from Rev. Victor Fuhrman Presents exclusive materials designed by the author throughout more than a decade of experience in ministry

Two Faiths, One Covenant? by Eugene B. Korn,John T. Pawlikowski Pdf
Judaism and Christianity are religions bound together by their claims to the same biblical covenant initiated by God with Abraham and his descendants. Yet, despite the inseparable connection between the election of Israel and that of the church, between the "old" and the "new" covenant, this shared spiritual patrimony has been the source of a type of violent sibling rivalry competing for the same paternal love and inherited entitlement. God, it seemed, had but one blessing to bestow. It could be given to either Jacob or Esau—but not both. In the twenty-first century, however, Jews and Christians are challenged to reconsider their theological assumptions by two inescapable truths: the moral tragedy of the holocaust demands that Christian thinkers acknowledge the violent effects of theologically de-legitimizing Jews and Judaism, and the pervasive reality of cultural and religious pluralism calls both Christian and Jewish theologians to rethink the covenant in the presence of the Other. Two Faiths, One Covenant? Jewish and Christian Identity in the Presence of the Other is a breakthrough work that embraces this contemporary challenge and charts a path toward fruitful interfaith dialogue. The Christian and Jewish theologians in this book explore the ways that both religions have understood the covenant in biblical, rabbinic, medieval, and modern religious writings and reflect on how the covenant can serve as a reservoir for a positive theological relationship between Christianity and Judaism—not merely one of non-belligerent tolerance, but of respect and theological pluralism, however limited.

Blessed and Called to be a Blessing by Helen Richmond (Minister) Pdf
Christians and Muslims, bound together in a dialogue of life, give expression to the wideness of God's hospitality and grapple with the difficulties as well as the richness and promises that a shared life brings. In a world where religious and cultural differences often lead to conflict it has become increasingly important to search for missiological responses that can assist in the building of inclusive communities and forging of bonds of respect and understanding. Helen Richmond draws on the lived experience of Muslims and Christians in interfaith marriages in Indonesia and Australia, whose lives embody a living dialogue between two religious traditions, to offer a fresh approach to our understanding of Christian mission and Muslim da'wah. The narratives and testimonies of the couples in this study invite the question of whether Muslims and Christians who have viewed each other as intimidating opponents might instead regard each The narratives and testimonies of the couples in this study invite the question of whether Muslims and Christians who have viewed each other as intimidating opponents might instead regard each other as fellow pilgrims and partners in God's work in the world. This book makes a substantive contribution to theological, and specifically missiological knowledge and will make an important point of reference for further research in the area of interfaith marriage in particular and to wider issues of Christian mission and interfaith engagement more widely. There is much that can be quarried from this insightful study. Professor Douglas Pratt, University of Waikato Helen Richmond demonstrates considerable originality in the subject area and in the methodology used in field research and interactions with the couples interviewed. She has the advantage of being fluent in Indonesian thereby having access to the worlds of Indonesian-language couples. The work she has done on the history of Islam and Christianity in Indonesia and Australia in relation to marriage is impressive and her arguments are cogent and clear. Professor James Haire School of Theology, Charles Sturt University Precisely at a moment of growing distrust between religious communities this book brings to light a world of intimacy between the two faith communities. Enduring interfaith marriages in which at least one partner is an active faith practitioner are rare, but they do form the ultimate meeting ground between the two great missionary traditions. The idea of looking at the vexed problem of Christian-Muslim relations through the lens of interfaith marriage is a courageous one and a metaphor that is rich with theological possibilities. Even more courageous was the author's decision to adopt a wholly ecumenical missiological approach, that is, one that takes both religions equally seriously and moreover takes at face value the often troubling desire of each to try and convert the other. Professor Gerry van Klinken, Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV), Leiden Helen Richmond is a minister in the Uniting Church in Australia with considerable experience of working cross-culturally. She has had a long connection with Indonesia and her extended family which includes Muslims and Christians is a snap shot of the religious diversity of our times. For six years Helen worked as a Tutor in Mission Studies at the United College of the Ascension, Selly Oak, Birmingham, UK. She has served as the National Director for Multicultural and Cross-cultural Ministry in her church and for the last six years has been a Theology Teacher at Nungalinya College, an Indigenous training center in Darwin.
