Re: Rowan Williams to warn of downgrading of religious education

I am not a religious man ,but i did do RE upto CSE grade 1 level and found it very fascinating and when linked to the same level of history it worked well and made a lot of sense ,and not once was i ever encouraged or asked to worship anything ,but as you say it is a matter of choice and for those who do choose it ,even more so in todays multicultural society ,i feel they have an advantage over those who don't[/QUOTE]
