Spirituality in Religious Education

Spiritual development is nurtured in Religious Education through:

• Reflecting on people, places, things, books, actions and ideas held by religious believers to be holy
• Asking 'Big Questions' about meaning and purpose
• Exploring ideas of the divine / questions of God
• Researching different forms of worship
• Using music, art and drama to express beliefs
• Discovering a variety of beliefs, celebrations and rituals
• Suggesting ways religion can create a sense of belonging and commitment to groups and institutions
• Appreciating the idea of mystery and questions with no clear answers
