Talking Together

This is a book to encourage young people to explore the religious dimension of matters which are relevant to them in their everyday lives. It offers the opportunity to clarify some puzzles, challenge some prejudices, expand horizons and enable personal encounters and spiritual growth. Through taking part in reading the conversations and listening to each other, young people will learn about the perspectives of different religions; they will find and share common ground and learn to understand respect and enjoy their differences. It can be used as a thought-provoking extension to any teaching in RE (from Year 5 onwards) particularly related to: concepts of God; rites of passage; the meaning and use of religious symbolsor about peace or pilgrimage.
