This group is for Sign Language Interpreters who work in religious settings, or those interested in doing so, as well as Deaf/HoH individuals with an interest in this ministry. Our ultimate goal is to sharpen our skills and learn new strategies to help us face the challenges of interpreting in religious settings. Original members met at the GaRID Conference in August, 2006, during the Religious Interpreters Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting. Even though we had different faiths, beliefs, affiliations, we shared some of the same challenges. Join us in discussing issues related to interpreting in religious settings. Disagreeing with an idea can lead to enlightening discussions; however, we will not tolerate flaming, or criticism of one's religious beliefs.
