We do not study and teach #religion because we are necessarily religious, we do it because religious literacy is vital in a world where religion still makes at least half of us tick. Where will Wales's voice be heard? @cardiffuni: please reconsider cutting #theology.

[Ronan McLaverty-Head @ronanhead]

#Wales is the land of David and the Age of the Saints; of Bishop Richard and the Reformation; of William Morgan's Welsh Bible; of non-conformity and the Christian revival; and it is now the land of vibrant multi-faith communities.

“O second moon, we, too, are made
of water, of vast and beckoning seas.
We, too, are made of wonders, of great
and ordinary loves, of small invisible worlds,
of a need to call out through the dark.”

Amazing, @adalimon.

After a successful launch aboard a @SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from @NASAKennedy, @EuropaClipper is on its way from our ocean world to another to see if Jupiter's moon Europa has conditions suitable for life: https://t.co/nfI8RjiAuQ

Yes. Which is why @KingsWorcester teaches it.

There is an extremely strong case for philosophy in schools. In the age of digital mis- and dis- information, the ability to reflect carefully and constructively on big, controversial issues is more important now than it ever has been. https://t.co/trTfj45Vjp
