Why?

Still mulling over the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity .. of which I have seen remarkably little sign this week.  My fault as well.  I picked up a report on the teaching of philosophy as part of RE teaching and wrote Monday’s Thought for the Day about it.  I could make a perfectly good case for faith schools and for teaching RE though a particular denominational framework.  But it does seem to me to make a great deal of sense to approach through the great [and often unanswerable] questions of life and to offer faith as a way of putting a tentative framework of meaning around them.
