“Key directions of the religion teacher’s activities in the contemporary metropolitan school”. Reflections based on a personal experience

Abstract

A catechist working in a school, especially in a big city, has to face new and difficult challenges. The article shows the importance of school catechesis and, above all, more broadly addresses the issue of the key courses of action that a religion teacher should take in order to adapt religion lessons to modern conditions. The author has been a religion teacher in Warsaw for many years. On the basis of his own experience and conclusions drawn from discussions with other religion teachers, he presents reflections on the directions for the renewal of school catechesis, especially in an urban environment.
