Visiting places of worship

A guide to all aspects of visiting places of worship, covering the six religions - Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist.

It is designed as a handbook for teachers arranging to visit places of worship as part of their school's RE programme.

The text concentrates on the significance of features inside and outside the buildings, and how these features convey belief.

There are case studies to illustrate the ways in which each place of worship is unique and reflects the personality of the faith community it houses.

Potential pitfalls when visiting places of worship are outlined, with strategies for avoiding them, and the book suggests activities for students whilst on visits.
