Do you minister to people of different faiths? The Interfaith Ministry Handbook is a resource to help you do it well.
If you are a minister who cares for people of many faith traditions, you have probably had the experience of encountering someone from a tradition with which you are not familiar. What do you say? What words do you use to pray? What readings will this person find comforting or helpful?
The Interfaith Ministry Handbook contains prayers, blessings, and readings from a variety of faith traditions and languages. It has been compiled specifically to support chaplains who work in interfaith and intercultural settings.
The Interfaith Ministry Handbook contains prayers and readings appropriate for:
- Jews
- Christians
- Baha’i
- Buddhists
- Hindus
- Muslims
- Native Americans
- Sikhs
- New Thought
- 12-Step
- …and others
In addition, the Handbook offers prayers in languages other than English, as well as prayers for specific needs in hospital settings, including:
- Communion at the bedside
- Baptisms and blessings for newborns
- Prayer following the death of a baby
- Prayers before and after surgery
- Prayers for the dying and at the time of death
- Prayers for caregivers and those who mourn
- …and many other resources.
This collection was compiled by Chaplain Matt Sanders, who currently serves as a staff chaplain at Mercy San Juan Medical Center in Carmichael, California.
