Kudos to the journal Religious Education

I’m so excited about the upcoming annual meeting of the REA/APPRRE, not least because the latest issue of our journal just came out and I think it’s a wonderful, microcosmic example of what our field is about. Just look at the titles (and this issue should be available online through most libraries):

• "Religious education and religious pluralism in the new Africa," J. Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu
• "Three questions," Justus Baird
• "Broadening the boundary of 'textbooks' for intercultural communication in religious education, Boyung Lee
• "Pupils' religious identity formation for a secular age," Siebren Miedema
• "A new theological culture in order to get a deeper understanding of the richness of religion and religiosity in the midst of global cultural flow," Matthias Scharer
• "Reflective teaching as a path to religious meaning-making and growth," Zehavit Gross
• "Toward liberating interdependence -- exploring an intercultural pedagogy," Boyung Lee
• "Student and teacher responses to prayer at a modern orthodox Jewish high school," Devra Lehmann
• "Teachers and teaching: a contemporary Muslim understanding," Imran Mogra
• "Un-autobiographical autobiographies: Investigating the life stories of ten elderly Nisei Christian women at a local Japanese American church," Naoki Okamura
• and two book reviews, one of Judith Brady's A Place at the Table: Justice for the Poor in a Land of Plenty, and Nathan Kollar's Defending Religious Diversity in Public Schools: A Practical Guide for Building Our Democracy and Deepening our Education </ul>
