Event Description: 'Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family' chronicles the rise of a controversial new grassroots movement: interfaith families choosing to celebrate both religions. Author Susan Katz Miller, a former 'Newsweek' reporter, 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. The result is the first book by an adult interfaith child to advocate for the right of interfaith 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. Miller makes the case that each pathway open to an interfaith family—choosing one religion, choosing both family religions, choosing no religion, or choosing a third religion—has distinct benefits and challenges. Young couples, grandparents, extended family, therapists, religious educators, clergy, and religious leadership will all find this book helpful in understanding the rise of 'doing both,' and how it fits into the rise of the 'religious nones,' and the rise of the 'spiritual but not religious.' 'Being Both' focuses primarily on the Jewish and Christian families but includes the stories of Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist interfaith families: the next interfaith wave. Finally, Miller makes the case that interfaith families should be included in, rather than excluded from, the growing interfaith dialogue and interfaith activism movement. Interfaith families live and breathe interfaith collaboration and cooperation and could become leaders in bringing about a world of peaceful religious pluralism. Since publication in hardcover last fall, 'Being Both' has been featured in the 'New York Times,' 'Time,' 'Utne Reader,' 'Salon,' 'Slate,' 'the Dish,' NPR’s 'Diane Rehm Show,' NPR’s 'Here & Now,' and many other media outlets. The book releases in paperback on October 21. Free event; Facebook RSVPs requested - http://facebook.com/curiousiguana
