Four ready-to-use Secondary RE lesson plans using art and the imagination. Exploring questions about faith and beliefs.
Cloud of Witnesses: Images of Faith and Divinity Today.
We collaborated on an exciting project that hosted an interfaith art exhibition and competition at St. John’s, Waterloo from March to April 2025. We invited artists to submit artworks that explore faith and divinity while provoking the viewer to think differently about how these have traditionally been portrayed. Racial justice and inter-faith integrity were the central inspiration for this exhibition. Out of this project we developed educational resources based on many of the artworks in the exhibition.
Searching for God: RE and Art.
Four ready-to-use Secondary RE lesson plans using art and the imagination.
Exploring questions about faith and beliefs with Christian, Ecumenical, Inter-faith and no-faith themes.
Inviting creative, fun and practical challenges inspired by big ideas about the world we live in.
Compatible with the national Catholic RE Directory and with other RE, RVE and RME syllabus content.
Adaptable to suit your needs and contexts.
This project is a partnership between National Adviser and curriculum writer, Lat Blaylock of RE Today in collaboration with Fleur Dorrell of the God who Speaks, and the kind permission of the artists and their artworks from the ‘Cloud of Witnesses’ Interfaith Art Exhibition.
We worked with 8 Catholic pilot schools to ensure quality engagement with these lesson plans and with NATRE for further sample ideas. We would like to thank the Culham St Gabriel Trust for their generous funding and all the artists, pupils and teachers who contributed to this project.
