Abstract

Abstract The future development of church membership or religious indifference is currently unpredictable. What’s more, the author argues that this perspective is of no relevance to Religious Education with nondenominational students. Instead, he advocates a “transconfessional” approach to Religious Education, in which the students’ confession or formal membership of a church doesn’t count. Thus, he rather looks at how RE can help pupils to consciously choose or decline a religious lifestyle. In this context, the author also points out that all thought on how to work with nondenominationals in RE classes can resort to the past years’ rich experience with ecumenical and interreligious learning.
