Thinking forward through the past in religion and education. Children’s Hospital: the Chaplains. October 24, 2014. October 24, 2014. I attended a preview event of a new observational documentary ‘ Children’s Hospital: the chaplains.

Thinking forward through the past in religion and education. William Temple and the Malvern Conference (reprised). January 2, 2015. March 7, 2015. Even so, the conference may be regarded as important because of the issues which were discussed and the extent to which it captured the temper of the time. In particular it strove to explore the relationship between the Christian vision for society and national cultural and social life. In the lead up to the conference, some 15 months away, I shall be blogging...

Thinking forward through the past in religion and education. I’ve recently had the privilege of undertaking a writing retreat to get my contributions to a book on childhood and religion I’m co-editing completed. I managed to get far more writing done than I normally can, which led to think ‘why? Below are a few thoughts about the writing process: they are more practical than profound; personal than universally applicable. Have somewhere you can hide away for a few hours. Don’t fight distraction. Don̵...

Thinking forward through the past in religion and education. Do Standing Advisory Councils on Religious Education (SACRE) have a future in the ‘new’ RE? January 12, 2015. March 7, 2015. I’ve been taking part in a Twitter debate provoked by @MrShepstoneRE. 8216;s reflections on a recent letter to SACRE by Lord Nash. So should any review of the function and aims of RE throw the SACRE baby out with the bathwater? I don’t think so, at least not until the following have been considered. It behoves the RE comm...
