Why It Is Time to Embrace Non-Confessional RE in Catholic Schools: Some Reflections from the English Context
Whittle, Sean
Journal of Religious Education, v70 n3 p287-297 Nov 2022
This article presents an analysis of why advocates of RE in English Catholic schools have managed to avoid seriously engaging with confessional Religious Education. The arguments presented here are set against the context of curriculum change in RE with the impending introduction of the "Religious Education Directory" in England and Wales (in September 2025). In this time of curriculum change and innovation, an argument is developed in favour of embracing a non-confessional account of RE in Catholic schools.
