ABSTRACT
This chapter considers traditional customs or courtesies that would be helpful for teachers when visiting various places of worship, or in meeting members of other Faiths. Some of these customs are required of the lay-community of the Faith as well as general visitors, while others are optional to the visitor from outside the Faith yet will be noted as a mark of respect by those from within. The chapter discusses the general and the specific issues relating to the classroom usage of religious artefacts from different Faiths. A typical Asian greeting is to place the hands together in front of the chest and to bow slightly with the head or upper body. Very many Christians wear a symbol of Christianity in the form of a cross or a crucifix. Hindu greetings are similar to those of Buddhism whereby the hands are placed together in front of the chest with a slight bowing with the head and upper body.
