Enquirer, I will first consider my own experience and that of others I know. I will then explore key concepts through different religions, noting similarities and differences, and discern why these concepts hold significance for those living a religious life. Finally, I will consider how this new understanding might affect my own behaviours or beliefs. At Shirley, we believe R.E. plays a vital role in promoting understanding, respect and tolerance between people of different faiths and those with none.
