Book Description
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.
