General
Church Net
An organisation devoted to the application of information technology to religion. Church Net operates similarly to a web ring and thus has huge directories of e-mail addresses and links to official homepages.GCSE Religious Studies revision
Concentrating on the NEAB 1342B RS syllabus, this site is a revision tool for the Christianity and Christian Perspectives elements of the course. It summarises the key points pupils need to know and then tests them systematically. Some of the elements, particularly conceptual and moral issues, could be taken further, but RS revision exercises are hard to find online and the site meets a need. Guide to the UK's Main Religions
Overview of the major religions from the BBC, which makes a useful reference at KS3. Professional Council for Religious Education
The Christian Education Movement is committed to the fair and accurate teaching of the major world faiths in religious education. Its website though has little more than a catalogue of their publications. RE Curriculum Materials at Culham College
Culham College also runs The RE Site, and in both sites the emphasis is firmly on Anglican Christianity. Most of the resources are suitable for collective worship. The RE Site does, however, have a searchable index of links to resources elsewhere. RE Net
Contains links and printable class/teacher notes on Mark's Gospel, Christianity and Aids, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and articles on issues for professional issues. Easily navigable and quick to download. RE Teachers' Cupboard
An invaluable collection of tips, advice and links for any RS teacher, the Teachers' Cupboard is run by Paul Hopkins (who is also responsible for the revision site listed above). Visitors are encouraged to contribute lesson plans and ideas. Religious Education Exchange Service
A superb collection of online resources for RE teachers is accommodated here in the 'Teacher's Cupboard'. Clear design married to quality content makes this outstanding site an essential reference point. Religious Movements
A gateway to profiles of more than two hundred Religious Movements, most of which were written by students at the University of Virginia. They are accessible, if not too profound. Each profile offers demographic and background information, a summary of beliefs, discussion of controversial issues, and links and print bibliographies. Religious Resources on the Net
A truly comprehensive, searchable database of religious and Christian web sites on the Internet. Websites can be searched by one of the 170 topics or with the search engine. Religious tolerance
An American-based agency whose site is a genuine attempt to give an even-handed world view of all religion. Not afraid to shy away from the negative effects of religions through the ages, nor give praise where due, the four writers (of different faiths) refuse either to promote or attack. RS-Web Religious Studies on the web
A site dedicated to A Level Religious Studies Students. It has hundreds of links for Ethics arranged under theory and issue subheadings as well as advice for writing essays and sitting exams. It links to various searchable news archives and provides regular news bulletins. Shap Calendar of Religious Festivals 1999 - 2000
An online version of the authoritative Shap Calendar produced by NAMSS & The Shap Working Party on World Religions in Education. It can be browsed by month or religion. The Interfaith calendar
An easy to use calendar listing "Primary sacred times for world religions", a "Definition of Terms" with brief descriptions of each festival. The "Families of Religions" section has short, friendly explanations exploring each faith. The Secular Web
With over 6,000 documents, the Secular Web is the largest and most heavily visited nontheistic site on the internet. Decidedly atheistic and partisan towards organised religion, the Secular Web does contain some articles by renowned experts, though some material is poorly written. Ship of Fools
While the Ship of Fools (subtitled the Magazine of Christian Unrest) is a Christian website, it is also ecumenical in the best sense: it questions, mocks, satirises and pricks the bubbles of religious pomposity. The contents include serious reviews of church services (the Mystery Worshipper), off-the-wall religious news, entertaining and informed articles and some excellent discussion boards.
