Response to Trevor Cooling and Marius Felderhof

It has been said of the Religious Education (RE) community that if you place two practitioners into a room, they will emerge with three viewpoints. Yet even if that were true, I am grateful for the opportunity to read and reflect on Professor Cooling’s and Dr Felderhof’s responses. There is substantial agreement between myself and Prof Cooling concerning structures. He concurs with my critique as ‘important’ and ‘legitimate’, and my shining a spotlight on sectional interests as ‘helpful’. There is less agreement between myself and Dr Felderhof overall
