What is Educhurch?

Educhurch is a Web site which can be used in schools, and allows pupils to find out more about the Christian faith. It features three churches, all very different from each other: an Anglican church, a Salvation Army citadel, and a free church. Click on the buttons on the right to look at these churches.

For each church there are photos and information about:

the building

artefacts used within the church (e.g. font, flags and items for communion).

events within the church (e.g. worship, prayer and homegroup)

interviews with Christians (e.g. minister, teenager and sunday school teacher)

How do I use Educhurch in RE?

RE in most schools is taught to a locally agreed syllabus or a diocesan syllabus. All syllabuses are requested to teach about Christianity as the major religion in Britain. Although syllabuses differ in emphasis, most cover some or all aspects listed on the common themes pages.

Many schools have started to use the QCA guidelines for RE and the material listed on the QCA pages gives guidance as to how Educurch could help pupils research different questions and topics in the units listed.
