It is not difficult to agree that religious diversity should impact educational policy, especially in respect of religious education, but it is much more difficult to reach agreement on the nature of this impact. Acknowledging diversity about educational approaches to religious diversity is as important as acknowledging religious diversity itself. Putting Barnes, Davis and Halstead side-by-side is an excellent method for displaying the importance of this debate.
