Jonathan Marshall, MBE, Director Plymouth Centre for Faiths and Cultural Diversity
 The study of religious education has always provided exacting academic rigour, the same as other core subjects. In addition, through the exploration of the world of belief, faith and culture, young people learn how to approach and handle the most sensitive and controversial issues that human beings can face, with respect, openness and compassion. In short, they learn what it means to be human.Where else but in school can we hope that our young people have opportunities to understand what matters most in life and what is really worth doing? RE can potentially touch the hearts and minds of young people, inspiring them to live differently and more wisely.
