“The glory of God is a person
fully alive”
Alive-O Religion Programme Theme is:
In
1999
Martin
Kennedy
wrote
a
report
about
the
teaching
of
Religion
in
Primary
Schools
.
The
report
was
called
‘
Islands
Apart
’.
In
it
he
says
:
There
is
good
news
and
bad
news
in
the
report
.
The
good
news
is
that
both
teachers
and
students
are
highly
positive
about
the
programme
–
the
classroom
emerges
as
a
space
where
the
students
engage
with
religion
in
a
way
that
is
delightful
for
them
.
The
bad
news
is
that
the
classroom
is
increasingly
the
only
space
where
the
students
so
engage
with
religion
.
While
in
theory
the
religious
education
of
children
involves
a
partnership
of
home
,
parish
and
school
the
reality
appears
to
be
quite
different
.

The good news is that both teachers and students are highly positive about the programme the classroom emerges as a space where the students engage with religion in a way that is delightful for them. The bad news is that the classroom is increasingly the only space where the students so engage with religion. While in theory the religious education of children involves a partnership of home, parish and school the reality appears to be quite different .
