Education in Australia we explore the perspectives of an RE
teacher, Peter Marendy, working at
the coal-face in a Catholic Secondary College. We see this commentary

Catholic
Religious Education in Australia why and how it has changed...
Catholic Education in Australia faced a major crisis in the 1960s to the
point where the bishops of the time seriously considered having to close

thanks largely to government funding, is fundamentally different to the
system of religious education that had existed in the past. In today's
commentary, Dr Graham English, Senior
Lecturer in Religious Education at ACU National, explores some of the
other social and cultural factors that make Catholic Religious Education today so
much different to what it was in the past. [more]
