Religious literacy: challenges for today

Religious Illiteracy means ignorance of core religious beliefs, symbols and practices operative within a culture. Many have noted that a feature of culture in Ireland is the increasing absence of ‘Christian literacy’. There are obvious challenges in this for the wellbeing of Christian churches. The dangers for wider society must also be of concern.

This symposium—organised by Loyola Institute, Trinity College, Dublin—will explore these questions from the perspective of both academics and practitioners.
