Contributions to RE
ACT contributes to religious education primarily through its role as an organisation for Christians working in education. Its print and electronic communications provide a mixture of helpful information and practical tips for educators. ACT strives to help Christians in education reflect on, and apply, insights in the Bible and pedagogic research to their own professional situation.
