“This religious education curriculum acknowledges and supports the
notion that young people have a spiritual dimension and grow
spiritually as well as physically, emotionally, psychologically and
intellectually.
This religious education curriculum acknowledges that the essence of
all inter-faith dialogue is the awareness that human beings share
essential truths and experiences that are much more important than
those which divide them.
This religious education curriculum respects the place and role of
family and faith communities as primary influences on the faith lives
of young people. At the same time it acknowledges the
complementary and supplementary role of partnership that the school
can play in the spiritual, moral, and faith development of young
people.
Through their study, students should come to appreciate the intrinsic
worth of each religion for its adherents.” (page 4)
