BIBLICAL STUDIES2Part 1: The Nature and purpose of the Religious Education In the Archdiocese of Brisbane, the Catholic schools use the Brisbane document for the purposeof the Brisbane curriculum. Archbishop Coleridge in the year 2013 approved the use of the P-12for the purpose of the classroom teaching. The curriculum was designed and developed after anextended period of the dialogue and consultation. Each and every Catholic school in thearchdiocese will have the school program based on the curriculum totally. It has been found thatthe religious Education Curriculum P-12 has connections with the church documents. There ismore string connection with the Vatican documents and the Catechism of the Catholic churchthat is based on schooling and education. The Brisbane Catholic Education is delegated by theArchbishop himself in order to support the Ecumenical and the Catholic schools. The team of theReligious Education Services of the Brisbane Catholic Education are renowned for providing theprofessional learning and as well as for the formation of the religious educators in schools.The Brisbane curriculum provides the religious education which is considered as aninterplay between the culture, life, faith within the context of the Catholic overview. Thereligious instruction is a term which is used in the church’s documents and it is interchangeablyalong with another term called the Religious education. The Brisbane Religious Educationdocument places the role of the Religious Education with the broader mission and perspective ofthe Catholic church. The Religious Education in the Archdiocese seeks for the promotion ofskills, deep understanding, knowledge with respect to the broader Christian tradition and it alsoincludes the evangelism mission taken up by the church (Bne.catholic.edu.au, 2018). The general directory of the Catechesis highlights the distinction and the importance of thecatechesis and instruction. Since the year 2008, Brisbane is based on the Model for ReligiousEducation that is based on the Gabriel Moran's approach for the purpose of religious education.

BIBLICAL STUDIES3The model describes that there is a central distinction between the two different aspects of thereligious education and the religious education includes both teaching people to be religious andteaching people to understand the religion. Brisbane's Model for Religious Education andMoran's views are in accordance with the document published in the Vatican Congregation forthe Catholic Education. The Brisbane Curriculum Religious Education depicts a contemporaryapproach towards the purpose and the nature of the religious education. This is done with thefocus towards more outward looking and it is also aimed towards the better preparation of thestudents so that they can be a good Catholic in this world. It has been found that the by engagingwith the religious education, students will be able to become active constructors of the cultureinstead of the passive consumers. Though this way the students will be able to challengethemselves and will be able to live a life according to the gospel of Jesus Christ(Bne.catholic.edu.au, 2018). The Brisbane curriculum is also found to induce within the studentsand also help them to develop a religious literacy with respect to the Catholic Christian tradition.This will also help the students to participate in the contemporary culture in a more authenticableand critical way. The students are able to become literate as they are able to develop thedispositions, skills and knowledge and are able to use the language in the context of the faith andlanguage confidentiality. It is also important to note that the religious literacy must be confusedwith the religious knowledge. The vision of the curriculum describes to the students the waythrough which they can articulate their faith and the lives in an authentic way. This also includesthe ways of writing, reflecting, reading, worshipping, theologising, ritualising, participating,evaluating, critiquing, communicating, creating, talking with the other variety of the secular andthe religious contexts.
