Religious Education and Culture in Zambia
Carmody, Brendan
British Journal of Religious Education, v45 n3 p301-308 2023
Religious Education in Zambia and perhaps more widely needs to become more aware of how religion is expressed culturally. 'Learning about' religion or religions, which is a common practice, has limited value. It needs a 'learning from' dimension. It will be contended that this 'learning from' has been extensively neglected in Zambia. A key reason for this is Religious Education's embodiment in a Western cultural framework. With movement towards 'learning from', but approached though Lonergan's intellectual conversion, Religious Education should enable the student to become more sensitive to different forms of the cultural expression of religion and so enhance his/her capacity to understand religion authentically.
