Join us November 2nd from 7 to 9:30 pm ET for our fall gathering! It’s free and online — please help us to share the news widely. And if you’re a student, come early — from 5:30 pm to 6:45 pmET to network.
Our focus this year is “Re-Imagining Religious Education After Pandemic” and we will be hosting a panel discussion led by Tamar Wasoian (including Anton Vrame, Tammy Wiens, Denise Janssen, and Karen-Marie Yust), followed by open Q&A and networking.
We are concerned about the trajectory of religious education in our churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious gathering places after the pandemic. In the USA, it is clear that parish and congregation based religious education programs suffered during the pandemic. While overall parish life may be rebounding, religious education programs have not.
Our hypothesis is that COVID brought to the surface a wider range of issues that our field was already struggling with. Our round table conversation will represent the diversity of REA to the best of our ability. We are eager to engage these issues, by sharing experiences, strategies, methodologies, about religious education in a post-COVID congregation.
