Being still

A marvellous book by Mary Stone is a favourite of many RE teachers and contains a treasure trove of visualisations and stilling exercises that can be used in the classroom. It is entitled Don’t just do something, sit there and I turned to it recently when asked to talk at a conference for RE teachers on the subject of Quakers. The conference, ‘Learn Teach Lead RE North’, was held on Saturday 7 October at York St John University in York and was the first of its kind. It was aimed at improving the quality of RE teaching and building community.
