Dismembering and Remembering Religious Education

Content Provider	Scilit
Author	Sullivan, John
Copyright Year	2016
Description	Recent cultural shifts affect the context in which Religious Education (RE) is not the least of which is a renewed sensitivity to the conflictual and challenging nature of religion. The pluralistic approach to RE aims for harmony between people of different religions but, through a fearful or politically correct politeness, can prevent a critical evaluation either of individuals or of traditions, thus leaving them all 'on a level' or 'side by side'. In some approaches to religious education Robert Martin suggests, 'methods of spiritual discernment and indwelling worship, contemplation, and prayer are attributed only a secondary epistemological status'. Brian Hill examines approaches to teaching RE in a way that is very similar to the analysis. RE can focus on truth as well as on toleration, on judgement as well as on empathy; it can promote commitment, as well as search, and facilitate indwelling and practising a religion, as well as observing it.
