Launch of Toward Mutual Ground:Pluralism, Religious Education and Diversity in Irish Schools.
Edited by Gareth Byrne and Patricia Kieran. Published by Columba Press
The book, Toward Mutual Ground:Pluralism, Religious Education and Diversity in Irish Schools, will be launched by Prof John Coolahan on Friday 26 April at 17.15 in the Academic Staff Room, St Patrick's College, Drumcondra. This volume, the result of the two 'Toward Mutual Ground' conferences held in Mater Dei Institute (October 2011) and in Mary Immaculate College (March 2012), is an important and timely contribution to the public discourse surrounding education, religion, and religious education in contemporary Ireland. It represents a variety of vantage points and approaches, and features nationally and internationally recognised voices in these fields.
This book launch coincides with the conference that will commence later that evening at St Patrick's, entitled 'The Place of Religion and Beliefs in the Primary School Curriculum: Educating the 21st Century Child'. We do hope you will consider coming to the book launch and staying for the conference.
