Teaching RE might sound like a natural fit for Christians—but the reality is far more complex. Today, Religious Education isn’t just about explaining biblical beliefs or comparing world faiths. It’s a subject shaped by competing ideas about its purpose, evolving national frameworks, and political debates over who decides what should be taught, and whether non-religious worldviews should carry statutory weight.

In this episode, Lizzie is joined by Cristo, ACT Director and Subject Leader in RE with a sector-leading Multi-Academy Trust, and Savvas, an experienced RE teacher and ACT member with over 15 years in the classroom, including six as Head of Department. Together, they unpack the shifting landscape of RE, explore its challenges and opportunities, and consider what faithful teaching looks like in today’s schools.
