How will these resources help you?

As RE teachers, we often embrace and celebrate the religious diversity that exists in our country. We can, however, risk taking the freedoms we are given to religious practice and identity for granted. By offering a global perspective on religious restrictions, as well as a case study from Christianity, teachers can feel more equipped to consider how power and authority might infringe on religious participation and identity. Through this, students can gain a wider understanding of the things sacrificed and suffered in the name of religion or belief, as well as the importance of upholding this freedom.
