This book is altogether admirable in its clarity and directness. Never has it been more necessary for people to live in harmony and peace with each other. We need to prepare our children to know, understand and appreciate what is important to people of other faiths and cultures.
This book is intended as a quick and simple guide for primary teachers, parents and governors. It makes clear the teaching of the Church and sound educational practice with regard to the teaching of other faiths. It lists resources and offers guidance on visiting places of worship.
“The aim of Christian education – at whatever level – remains what it has always been: to be formed in Christ with a mature and strong sense of the Christian missionary vocation. Nowadays, however, the Church sees this as including the capacity for entering positively into relationships with neighbours who belong to other religious traditions.”
The Bishops of England and Wales in 'Catholic Schools and Other Faiths' (1997).
