ISRSA Report: Religions and Worldviews (Weltanschauung) a personal response addressed to the ISRSA Patron and Council from Professor Trevor Cooling

In this document I respond to the Independent Schools Religious Studies Association Report in my professional capacity as an academic. Although I was Chair of the REC from 2015 to 2021 and a member of the Secretariat for the Commission on RE and am now Director of the ongoing REC Worldviews Project, I have no authority to speak on behalf of the REC. I have responded because I was the lead author of the Theos Report that is highlighted in the ISRSA Report as outlining the “new vision” that is being critiqued by the ISRSA.

This response should be read in conjunction with the text of the ISRSA Report (see related URLs).
