The final Shap journal was published in 2009 (ONLY in electronic form). It was an excellent teaching resource providing insights from a variety of perspectives. Each year the editorial team selected an issue of importance for those teaching world religions or working in other educational sectors or in public services.

The journals included practical suggestions for classroom application. They include reviews of books and other resources releveant at the time of publication.

Requests for use or re-publication of any articles should be made (via Shap if necessary) to the author, who retains copyright. If re-published in part or full elsewhere, the article’s publication in "World Religions in Education <year>' should be acknowledged.

The transliteration of specialist terms and the opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, not of the Shap Working Party.
