RELIGIOUS EDUCATION • OUR RELIGIOUS STORY • RELIGION AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY<br />
Unit 3: Religion and the Local Community<br />
LEARNING OUTCOMES<br />
TEACHER GUIDELINES<br />
The student will be able to:<br />
1. research the history of a local<br />
community of worship<br />
2. list the support groups operating<br />
within the community<br />
3. evaluate the contribution of religious<br />
groups or congregations in their local<br />
community.<br />
Students should carry out research on a<br />
local place of worship. This can include<br />
site visits using video and camera, local<br />
historians visiting the classroom, a visit<br />
to the local library. The following areas<br />
should be studied:<br />
History of the area, local saints,<br />
famous members of the worshipping<br />
community, past and present.<br />
<strong>Religious</strong> organisations in the<br />
community e.g. St V de P, Pioneers,<br />
bible groups, Mothers’ Union.<br />
<strong>Religious</strong>ly motivated support groups in<br />
the local community e.g. bereavement,<br />
marriage guidance etc.<br />
The contribution of religious groups or<br />
congregations, in terms of education,<br />
health, social services in the community.<br />
As a result of doing this research<br />
students should propose ways in which<br />
young people actively become involved<br />
in their local religious community.<br />
