First published in 2005, this timely volume challenges those who
see faith schools as contributing positively to the well-being of
society and responding to parent choice to think through the
implications of September 11 for our multi-ethnic and multi-faith
society without taking a position on the ultimate necessity of
faith schools. The authors conducted research in several
faith-based schools representative both of older religious
traditions in England and Wales, and of those which have been more
recently established. The focus was on state-funded faith-based
schools, but a range were visited to provide an overview of issues
facing all faith-based schools, as well as those specific to newly
funded institutions.
