Conclusion. .This book explores how and if the mandate for children to worship in schools can be justified within the context of declining church attendance and increasing nonreligious identification in British society. Shillitoe asks what place compulsory worship has in an increasingly diverse and plural society, and what the answer means for the relationship between religion, the secular, and education more broadly. Through in-depth ethnographic fieldwork from across three schools in southwest England, the book reveals how examining the significance of children’s experiences expands our understanding of both collective worship in schooling and religion in social life more broadly and demonstrates that adult-centric anxieties and assumptions in this area do not always reflect the experiences of children. .Studies in Childhood and Youth,2731-6475SociologySocial groupsReligion and sociologyEducationSpiritualityChildrenSociology of Family, Youth and AgingSociology of ReligionEducationSpiritualityChildhood EducationSociology.Social groups.Religion and sociology.Education.Spirituality.Children.Sociology of Family, Youth and Aging.Sociology of Religion.Education.Spirituality.Childhood Education.200.83200.83Shillitoe Rachael1448894MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910765483903321Negotiating Religion and Non-Religion in Childhood3644908UNINA
