Randalph’s Spiritual Quest and Search for Meaning Series

Randalph’s Spiritual Quest and Search for Meaning series has its origins as a Welsh Government commissioned curriculum resource to support Religion, Values and Ethics for 8- to 11-year-old learners. The series is intended to support schools in the delivery of the Curriculum for Wales. Its flexible, enquiry-based approach also makes it relevant for many Religious Education contexts beyond Wales. The series is published by Bear Lands Publishing (St Mary’s Centre, Wales) in collaboration with the St Giles’ Centre, Wrexham, and Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln. This website was originally funded and developed by the St Mary’s Centre, Wales in order to create an accessible platform from which learners and teachers may access this series. Currently, the website and resources are being supported and developed by the St Giles’ Centre, Wrexham. The series approach and design has been informed by the Prayer and Sacred Place Research Project and the Spring-Source research initiative.
