About this Site

This site was created out of a University of Alabama, College of Education graduate course called "Church, State and Schooling," taught by Dr. Natalie Adams.

The purpose of the site is to give educators easy access to information about various religions, and ideas on how to use the information to teach about religion in the public schools systems. This site was created because there is a need for such information, and many times even teachers are subject to misinformation and may not fully understand all the issues around a particular topic.

This site is always evolving; there is always more to add, and some to take away. There may currently be major pieces missing, and there may be some material objectionable to some people; that is the nature of religion, and our idea of tolerance in this country demands that we allow differences of opinion.

Having said that, it is imperative that we allow for difference of opinion in and out of the classroom. You will find you will have better luck as a teacher teaching religion if you keep opinion out of your lessons and stay with more kinds of factual information.

Any ideas, opinions, attitudes on this site are strictly my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Alabama or its officers, trustees or faculty members. The content on this page has not been reviewed or approved by any expert on religion, and therefore the accuracy is not guaranteed. Additionally, no responsibility is assumed for any error.

Please let me know if you have any comments, ideas, suggestions as to how I can improve and expand this site.

Sincerely,

Susan Lucas
