Welcome to season 7 of the RE Podcast and welcome to a new school year! Over the last few years we have heard the terms 'worldviews' and 'lenses' being used more and more frequently in terms of RE. But what do these words mean? Why is everyone talking about them and what does it mean for the future of RE? To answer these questions and more, I chatted to Dr Kathryn Wright, CEO of Culham St Gabriel, and her colleague Dr. Kate Christopher. I hope, by the end of this episode, you will be re invigorated in your classrooms as we embark on a new year of teaching!
