N2 - Common Ground Research Networks, Johanna Janna Markus, Gerdien Bertram-Troost, Bram de Muynck, Jos de Kock, Marcel Barnard, All Rights Reserved.Strong religious schools emphasize their own religious community and faith. However, in the interest of social cohesion, it is important to know what the teachers in these schools believe about religious diversity. We conducted sixteen in-depth interviews with Christian primary school teachers about the Christian faith and their beliefs regarding religious others. People ’s relationship with God is a central issue in their beliefs, and beliefs about religious others speak to issues of distinction, identification, or recognition. However, teachers show ambivalence when it comes to concrete encounters. We consider it valuable that teachers are stimulated to actively discuss contrasting beliefs.
