Many primary teachers feel they lack the expertise, confidence and resources to deliver the quality religious education they would like. The Story Tent seeks to address these concerns by providing resources that develop skills for intercultural and interfaith dialogue through an inquiry-based approach with an exploration of difference at its heart. Join us for the fourth in a series of six CPD sessions tailored for teachers who are interested in learning more about religions and worldviews. In this session exploring different perspectives on what is fair and just, you will have an opportunity to delve into the formative texts of the *3 traditions* through the practice of 'scriptural reasoning' (SR) with an experienced panel. SR is a tool for interfaith dialogue where people come together to read and reflect on their significant texts. Unlike some forms of interfaith engagement, SR is not about seeking agreement, but rather exploring the texts and their possible interpretations across faith boundaries, and learning to ‘disagree better’. This is the fourth of six sessions which will give participants the opportunity to explore a range of themes and how they are expressed in the scriptures and formative texts of different religions and worldviews, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Humanism, Judaism and more. This event is supported by Culham St Gabriel's and is in partnership with the Rose Castle Foundation.
