Julie Caliendo's Newly Released "A Christian Interpreter's Code of Ethics: Second Edition" is an Inspired Handbook for those Called to Minister to the Deaf
"A Christian Interpreter's Code of Ethics: Second Edition" from Christian Faith Publishing author Julie Caliendo is a comprehensive and practical manual for interpreters serving or planning to serve the church in Deaf Ministry.
MEADVILLE, Pa., June 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "A Christian Interpreter's Code of Ethics: Second Edition": a helpful study guide for signers, is the creation of published author Julie Caliendo, a Director of Women's Ministry, who also supports the work of the Deaf Ministry team at her church in Chandler, Arizona. Mesmerized by worship services in sign language, she pursued God's calling by attending and graduating from Phoenix College Interpreter for the Deaf Training Program in 1994 and has continued to serve and support Deaf Ministry in various capacities over the years.
Caliendo writes, "A Christian Interpreter's Code of Ethics establishes a standard of ethical behavior and a written resource for those who believe God is calling them to participate in Deaf Ministry within the Christian church setting. It is about behavior and relationships, not the beautiful expressive language of the Deaf. It is a workbook that:
- Presents real-life scenarios to prepare the workers for the everyday life.
- Identifies frequent challenges and suggests resolutions to better serve communication needs.
- Provides scriptural support to assist decision-making, including guided prayers.
- Lays a foundation, setting expectations for aspiring and tenured interpreters, ministry leaders, pastors, and church staff.
"What is stated here has been tried and tested, and it works!
"This is about behavior and relationships, not sign language. This is a guide, not the law. There are many books about starting, managing, and growing a Deaf Ministry, but they were more about administration than behavior. God prepared the author to write this book with a background in instructional design, then sent many encouragers involved for decades in Deaf Ministry to support her efforts.
"The initial goal of this book was and remains: for the learner to better understand the roles and responsibilities as a communication link, to perform with increased professionalism, and to serve this special calling of God with a committed mind and heart."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Julie Caliendo's new book is an engaging and invaluable resource for those who, like the author, feel called to reach out to the deaf in their community and their churches, focusing on the bond between individuals in Christ rather than a handicap or a language, thus empowering true spiritual connection and communication.
