Welcoming Each Other: Part 4: Curriculum resources for the Study of World Religions
Not all internet sites are trustworthy, accurate or unbiased. Discernment is needed. Some negative indicators are: if the site engages in proselytism or the attempt to ‘convert’; if the site is involved in denunciation and condemnation. In general, it is best to seek advice.
The Ecumenical and Interfaith Commission of the Melbourne Archdiocese recommends the following sites. It is for Catholic Education Melbourne to assess whether they are suitable for teachers’ and students’ needs.
A further note of warning: some sites and publications may present other religions in a false light. Especially and unfortunately, there are many such sites and publications at present, from a variety of backgrounds, that speak negatively about Islam and Muslims.
Columban Interreligious Dialogue: this website is an excellent resource on a wide range of topics in this field.
Harvard Divinity School, USA: the Religious Literacy Project provides resources for educators, journalists, public health workers, foreign service officers, interfaith/multi-faith groups, students and many others wishing to better understand the complex roles that religions play in contemporary global, national and local contexts.
Catholic primary schools in a changing Ireland: sharing good practice on inclusion of all pupils: excellent general and wide-ranging presentation of the issues surrounding education in a multi-faith environment.
Scarboro Missions, Canada: general and wide-ranging presentation on interfaith dialogue.
