REC Newsletter January 2013 |
|
Looking
ahead to the challenges of 2013 it seems that we in the RE community have a lot
of work on our hands if we are to safeguard the future of religious education
for our young people. How heartening, then, to know that the REC has 64 member
organisations and many more supporters, who, with all their diverse beliefs and
worldviews, are pulling together to achieve the same goal. This is always
apparent at our Council meetings and Board meetings, which are invariably full
of lively, passionate and fascinating discussions. Our member organisations and
supporters don’t just “talk the talk”, however – they take action, getting involved in
campaigns, spreading the message about the importance of RE, and “walking the
walk”, quite literally this year, as we plan sponsored walks to celebrate the
40th anniversary of the REC and raise vital funds (see news item
below). We hope you’ll join us and help make our celebrations a visible part of community life this spring.

In 2013, the RE Council will be 40 years old.
The anniversary will be marked by a series of sponsored walks, and similar events, across England and Wales to raise both the RE Council's profile, and some much needed income to enable us to carry on championing the cause of RE.
The monthly newsletter gives details of different ways in which people can contribute. Please do so if you can. Click the links below to see previous issues of the Sponsored Walk Newsletter

This paper tries to bring together what is happening in qualifications reform in England, and to tease out the implications for Religious Education (RE) and for Religious Studies (RS). Whilst the paper has had the benefit of input from members of the Curriculum, Assessment and Qualifications Committee of the RE Council, the paper has not yet been discussed by the Committee or the Board. Its status, therefore, is that of a personal perspective from the Chair, and does not represent a considered RE Council position.
