Literacy • "Religions use a huge variety of literary forms and many registers of language. • There is specialist religious language which needs to be known and to be used with care. • Religious language often moves between the literal and the metaphorical. • Skills of speaking and listening are developed in RE because it encourages and often requires the discussion of controversial issues. • RE offers the opportunity to discuss on the basis of experience."
