Episode 80. Bonus.
Wedding ceremonies are universal and central to many religious and cultural groups. But they vary widely. In this conversation with four guests from different religious traditions – Judaism, Mormonism, Islam and the Baha'i faith – we explore the role of the officiant, who that is, the role of the Divine, contracts and other things. This conversation grew out of the Elevate Podcasting summit hosted by BYU Broadcasting. Steve Perry, host of their In Good Faith podcast, has joined me in co-hosting this discussion.
Highlights:
· Is a religious leader required?
· Role of the Divine in wedding ceremonies
· Marriage contracts
· Cultural and religious
· Till death do us part or for eternity
