Simply Ask! A guide for religious sensitivity for healthcare professionals (full text pdf) by Gerrie Lubbe now available When Babe, the little piglet in the movie of the same name, is entered by his owner into the sheepdog trials, he initially has problems gaining the cooperation of the sheep. After consulting a senior ewe on how to win their trust, she tells him to simply ask nicely! He follows her instruction and the sheep perform flawlessly on the day of the trials. It is our wish that this booklet becomes a guide to all healthcare professionals and if we learn from Babe, and observe the golden rule of simply asking when we do not know, we'll go a long way in becoming sensitive to the spiritual needs of all recipients of healthcare.
