Working Paper 36, Christian Confessionalism and Phenomenological Religious Education

Journal of education & Christian belief, Mar 1, 2002

IT IS NOW over thirty years since the publication of the Schools' Council, Working Paper 36: ... more IT IS NOW over thirty years since the publication of the Schools' Council, Working Paper 36: Religious Education in the Secondary School. It is widely regarded as one of the most influential documents on British religious education in the post-war era. The aim of this paper is to reassess and re-evaluate Working Paper 36's central arguments: (1) its critique of Christian confessionalism in education; (2) its advocacy of a phenomenological approach to religious education; and (3) its strategy for developing tolerance among adherents of different religions or none. I conclude that the central arguments of Working Paper 36 are much less robust than is believed by many contemporary commentators on religious education.

The theology of education and religious education in schools

Bowie discussed the Final Report of the Commission on Religious Education (CoRE) and identified two ways in which Christian theology can become a ‘conversation partner’ with a worldview approach to religious education: first, through theological interaction with the concept of worldview; and second, by showing the potential of biblical hermeneutics to teaching about a Christian worldview. It is argued that the concept of a worldview finds its origins outside Christian theology and fails to capture the nature of Christianity and that the highly abstract, philosophical character of the concept of worldview makes it an unsuitable vehicle for religious education in schools. It is accepted, however, that biblical hermeneutics has a contribution to make to religious education, albeit as a component within the broader subject of (general) hermeneutics, although this positive contribution is not supported or anticipated by CoRE, but rather expresses the views of Cooling and Bowie, who are contributing to a long-running debate on the role and form of hermeneutics in religious education.
