REA Annual Meeting 2016

Generating Hope:
The Future of the Teaching Profession
in a Globalized World

Business Meeting Materials

“Make a difference: become a teacher.” This kind of advertisement can be found on many corners of the street – nowadays and worldwide. Teachers and educators apparently are considered to be agents of change in communities. What makes them special? What is the scope of their profession? How do they respond professionally to their vocation in a globalized world? And what would be the specific contribution of the religious educator or the religious education teacher to larger communities of educational practice? The 2016 REA conference in Pittsburgh will bring together passionate scholars and reflective practitioners with a vision on teaching for a new world.

Will you join us?

Our 2016 annual meeting will be held November 4-6 at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Registration is available on site.

The Religious Edu­ca­tion Asso­ci­a­tion is an incor­po­ra­tion of the ven­er­a­ble 100 year old Reli­gious Edu­ca­tion Asso­ci­a­tion (REA), who have gath­ered semi-annually, pub­lished, and taught reli­gious edu­ca­tion dur­ing this past cen­tury, and the Asso­ci­a­tion of Pro­fes­sors and Researchers in Reli­gious Edu­ca­tion (APRRE), a group of pro­fes­sors, scholars and researchers who for the past 30 years have gath­ered annu­ally as a guild of schol­ars build­ing and shar­ing a body of the­ory and research.

REA dues are deter­mined with a slid­ing scale based on income. As a ben­e­fit of mem­ber­ship, you will receive five issues of Reli­gious Edu­ca­tion, the offi­cial jour­nal of REA, and reduced registration for the Annual Meeting. Join REA and enjoy the full ben­e­fits of membership.
